Sally Oates is a teacher at Kelly Walsh High School and the mother of two sets of fraternal twins, ages 20 and 15, and a son, 18. A teacher for 28 years, with 27 of those in the Natrona County School District, she also has been a coach for 15 years. Teaching and coaching, Sally said, helped her find her identity and worth. This mother tells her children, "You have the good days and the bad days, but family is always there for them." Called the "fun director" by her husband, Richard, Sally said, "These children that my husband and I are raising are our reasons for living and growing old, together, to enjoy in the twilight of our life."

Ashley K. Bright, 40, is the chief professional officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming, which includes Casper, Glenrock, Douglas and Shoshoni. There are currently 3,900 members ages 6 to 18 who belong to a club branch or satellite site. His board has recently shifted from a growth agenda to an impact agenda with four pillars — building stronger clubs, impact with growth, assuring greater public trust and expanding programs beyond walls. He and his wife, Allyson, have four children, Kaylee, Kirsten, Taylor and Caden. As he often does, rather than asking a staff member, in February Bright was a father to the fatherless, leaving Casper at 11:45 p.m., to drive a club member to Cheyenne for a contest that was to begin at 7 a.m. the next day.
