I had the pleasure of knowing Vickie during the time she volunteered at Cheyenne Village. Vickie was a classy lady and very independent. Vickie would visit the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center donating and spending time with the Wolfs and the staff out there. She would come back with such amazing stories. Vickie was one of the few that they would actually allow in with the wolves, the wolves seemed to appreciate her presence. I always think of Vickie when I see the color purple, she usually wore something purple or carried something purple with her. Vickie, you will be missed. Once a Panther, Always a Panther. RIP
