Join Us in Honoring the Life and Legacy of Alan K. Simpson. On Saturday, March 29, at 11 a.m., friends and family are welcome to gather at the University of Wyoming’s Arena-Auditorium to celebrate the extraordinary life of former U.S. Sen. Alan K. Simpson. Al was more than a leader—he was a devoted UW alum, a mentor, and a steadfast champion for Wyoming and his alma mater. His wisdom, humor, and unwavering spirit left an unforgettable impact on all who knew him. Hosted by the Simpson family, this celebration of life is open to all and will also be simulcast on TV and streamed online by Wyoming PBS for those unable to attend in person. As we come together to honor his memory, we invite you to share your stories and memories of Al in the comments.
