Lester C. Hunt, a member of Wyoming Lodge 2 in Lander, served as Governor and a US Senator from his state. He may be best remembered, however, for something he did as Wyoming's Secretary of State. Serving in that position in 1936, he designed Wyoming's iconic "bucking horse" license plate, commissioning famed western landscape artist Allen T. True of Authors Lodge 3456 in London to complete the final artwork. Every quarter for the remainder of his life, Brother Hunt received a royalty of $3.50 from the state for the use of his design. Instead of cashing the checks, he endorsed them over to the state treasury.
