joy to work with. We miss him when
we don’t need him to volunteer for a week or two!

| 2004 Driver of the Year—Shane
Roberts |
Agency: Rendezvous Pointe,
formerly known as the Sublette Hi-Country Senior Center
Nomination by Leona Roberts
Shane Roberts was named the WYTRANS 2004 Driver of
the Year at the annual awards banquet held June 26 in
Riverton. Shane is a teddy bear sort of guy who is really proud
of his mother. He has a bad back and legs from an auto accident,
and he limps with a smile and a joke, even though I know he is
hurting. He drives the Sublette Hi-Country Senior Center
bus five days a week, eight hours a day, taking us crotchety old
ladies to the center for lunch, exercise, arts and crafts,
doctor and dentist appointments, hair and nail appointments, as
well as delivers dogs for vet and grooming appointments.
Shane also delivers Meals on Wheels, carries art bags, extra
oxygen bottles, and lifts walkers onto the bus. We all feel that
he is our own personal chauffeur. Thursday is sale day at Falers
grocery store. Shane takes us shopping and carries our groceries
to the bus and then into our homes, as well as helping out by
mailing our letters.
On weekends he loves to ice fish and has been known to bring
some of us a mess of filleted trout. He is an exceptional bus
driver and a neat guy. We are lucky to have Shane for our
driver.

| 2004 Trainer of the Year—Faye
Nash |
Agency: CATC—Casper
Area Transportation Coalition and Nash Transportation Training
and Consulting (NTTI)
Nomination by Sean Solan, WRTA
Please allow me to nominate Faye Nash for Trainer
of the Year. Her list of accomplishments is extensive and
she always works very diligently for both CATC and
WYTRANS.
Faye was one of the original Wyoming PASS trainers and she is
a nationally certified PASS Master Trainer for the Community
Transportation Association of America (CTAA). Her willingness to
work towards making a safer and more skilled world of transit is
evident. I believe with her impending retirement, it is
essential that we at WYTRANS extend to her this last increment
of honor. She has earned it and it gives me great pleasure to
nominate her.
Editor’s Note: Faye is now a transportation
consultant and has her own business called Nash Transportation
Training and Consulting (NTTI). She is available to provide PASS
and Safe Driver Training as well as CPR and First Aid and
several other classes. You may contact her at 307-237-4944 or nttc@qwest.net
