Decades of service
When Jerry Reed returned home one Thursday night after teaching a hunter education course, he didn?t expect to have one of his most memorable experiences involving one of his students. Hunter education is only one of Reed?s volunteer positions, and on this evening two of his passions collided. Reed also volunteered for the Sheridan County Search and Rescue Unit. *When Search and Rescue called him about a local boy who got lost while attempting to mountain bike on the Tongue River Canyon Trail, he was ready for action.
