of Westerners International located in north-central
Wyoming. We meet monthly (with a few exceptions) for dinner, fellowship and to hear
a guest speaker talk to our group on an interesting topic of western history.
Westerners International is an organization dedicated to the preservation
of western history and the western lifestyle. A "Westerner" is anyone interested

The purpose of the Westerners is fun and scholarship
related to the American frontier West. "Westerners share a dislike for
stuff-shirtism, over-seriousness, shiftless thinking, and above all ignorance," wrote
the late Ray Allen Billington, historian. Western traditions prevail in all meetings of
Westerners.
A Corral or Posse is the name commonly used by a local

The February 2002 meeting will be held on
February 21st in Buffalo, Wyoming at the Stagecoach Restaurant on Fort Street.
Cocktail hour begins at 5:30 PM, with dinner at 6:30 PM. Our Guest Speaker will be
