Commodore Lynn Burgess

Lynn has lived his entire life in Casper and his childhood memories began with fishing on Alcova Lake with his father when he was just starting school. His parents were proprietors of several restaurants in Casper and his many years of hands-on familiarity with this food service industry has been an advantage as a board member.

Most of Lynn's professional life has been mechanical and oilfield related during which he owned a service and equipment business.  He began building and racing hot rods as a teenager, was a mechanic on drilling rigs and then began building rigs. Hot rods are in the past and he now throttles his love of speed across the lake.

His proudest moment was when he brought his first boat home in 1979 and soon made Alcova his year-round home as well as his recreational love.  He served his first term on the CBC board from 1982 to 1985 and is proud he learned from the original founders of the club and holds their original vision.  Those early years included not only constant dock expansion and the construction of the promenade, but also the clubhouse renovation.  He and his family laid most of the sandstone terracing and walks that surround the club and grounds, one rock at a time, mixing the concrete in a wheelbarrow. Lynn served CBC as an officer during his second term from 2000 to 2004 and assumed the duties of dock assignment. He also began providing and installing electric lifts to members at that time.

Lynn served as Commodore in 2007. He spends his lazy time enjoying his 36-foot boat "Enchantress".

Lynn's term on the board expires December 31, 2012.
