The Sweetwater County museum recently had a special visitor. The Rock Springs Rocket Miner reports Missy Frederick came from Seattle to see the exhibit that featured her family. Her great grandfather, Adrian Reynolds, was once the publisher of the Green River Star. She’s also the grand-niece of A.K. and Ellen Reynolds, who owned and operated a river-running service on the Green River before the Flaming Gorge Dam was completed.

Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program. In the spring of 2020, she virtually graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in biology with minors in journalism and business. When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
