23YO Coroner Tackles Tough Job

City of Laramie coroner Kathleen Vernon poses next to the coroner's truck in Laramie, Wyo., last Wednesday. Vernon is the youngest coroner in the state of Wyoming. Since she took office in January, Vernon has worked to win over skeptics, and she’s won praise from Albany County residents and her fellow coroners alike. Story here.
