His favorite pastime of fishing turned into a career early in his life, but Peter Wold eventually followed in his father’s footsteps owning and managing Wold Oil Properties. Peter is the 2017 honoree for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming’s Awards and Recognition Breakfast to be held on Sept. 20, 2017.

A Casper native, Wold earned a biological science degree from Colorado State University and went to work at a trout farm in Idaho.  Searching for more challenging endeavors, Peter returned to Wyoming and went to work for the late Tom Stroock as a landman. In 1981, he joined forces with his father John and brother Jack with Wold Oil Properties. The brothers bought the company from John in 1993 and have managed it since. Peter and his wife Marla have three children and four granddaughters.

 

The annual breakfast also features a keynote address by actor, director, and author Henry Winkler. Mr. Winkler is known for his portrayal of Fonzie in the 1970’s sitcom “Happy Days.” He is the author of several books including “I Never Met an Idiot on the River”, a collection of lessons and photos Winkler gathered while fly fishing in Montana and the popular children’s series “Hank Zipzer: The World’s Greatest Under-Achiever”.  Henry is an advocate for several organizations that benefit underprivileged children. Arrangements for the appearance of Henry Winkler made through Greater Talent Network, Inc., New York, NY.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming will begin taking reservations for the 19^th Annual Awards and Recognition Breakfast in June.
