Georgene Hager Scholarship




Georgene Hager LeBar believed in helping people to help themselves, through education.  Georgene was born in 1940 on the Hager Family Ranch in eastern Wyoming near Torrington.  She graduated from Torrington High School, and received a bachelor’s degree in Education from Chadron State College and then came to the University of Wyoming to obtain her masters.  However, she could not complete this degree due to limited funds and this is something she had always regretted.  The Hager family started the Little Moon Lake Supper Club, which was a hot spot for recreation during the 1950’s.  This is where she met her husband George N. LeBar.  George offered Georgene a job on his ranch near Douglas, Wyoming and later they married in 1974.  The couple ranched together for many years, raising cattle and sheep.  Georgene Hager is said to have been one tough lady.
