The passing of James G. Watt.

Controversial Wyoming native, James G. Watt, has passed away at age 85.


Watt was the highly controversial and very pro development Secretary of the Interior under Ronald Reagan.  He was born in Lusk where his father was a lawyer and rancher.  He was a graduate of the University of Wyoming College of Law.

I had the odd experience of witnessing an automobile accident involving Watt that took place in slushy conditions just outside of Dubois.
