Bob and Miriam Carlson are both Wyoming natives. Born in Laramie, Bob moved to Pinedale before he was a year old. Miriam was born in Buffalo & came here when she was two. Bob lived at the Pinedale Inn which his grandparents, Dan & Bessie Doyle owned. He was a ‘town kid’. His parents were ‘Bob’ and Hazel Carlson. He said, “My nickname’s Swede. Harold Faler’s was Red”. Bob would run off to play, so his mother put a bell on him and tied him to the clothesline. One day the bell was silent. When she looked out, he was taking off his pants to get free. He was a pal to Tom, who was also restrained, being tied to the hot water heater. One day Bob took out his knife, cut Tom free and they took off on top of the trash truck to the old dump.
Another time Bob and the Carson boys rode bikes 14 miles to Steele Hot Springs in Boulder. They neglected to inform their parents. There were three boys and only two bikes so when one of them had a flat, they were stuck. Their parents finally found them. At the Pinedale Inn one of the guests, Claudie (Meyer) got locked in the bathroom. Bob had to climb through the transom to let her out. Bob remember playing stick horses with the Wenz and Faler boys in Cooley’s Field. He said, “We used to peel our sticks so we had ‘Paint’ horses.” Another time he was playing baseball when a robin landed right on his head. In spring it was a big event to jump into Pine Creek as soon as the ice went out. Bob said, “We’d just all take off our clothes and jump in – boys and girls. We were probably in 6th or 7th grade. It was the days of innocence”. Sometimes Bob and his friend Tom would help unload the freight truck at Mollring’s store. Bob said, “If we dropped a watermelon, we could eat it, so we did.” Bob remembers being in the first Rendezvous reenactment of 1936. Bob recalls that when he was little, he was full of energy & his mother gave him a jigger of wine each night to put him to sleep!
Bob's dad was a carpenter, the 3rd sheriff of Sublette County, a Deputy Sheriff and the City Marshall. Once a year they had to clean out the water storage tank (still sitting on Orcutt Hill). It was the Deputy Sheriff’s job to clean the courthouse too. Pinedale had a unique system to notify a policeman that he was needed. There was a light at the intersection of Tyler and Pine. If it went on, they were hunting for a law officer. One time, Bob recalls, “Dad was at Mollring Store when a car came in. Realizing that the men inside were escaped convicts from Rawlins, Dad jumped on the running board and pulled out his gas gun (a pencil shaped object that stuns people). He got them to jail, locked them up and then realized that he had captured them with his pen.” Bob spent a lot of time with his Uncle Art Doyle on his ranch. He said, "Uncle Art was one-legged. He’d roped a buffalo once and the rope had gotten around his leg and pulled. Gangrene set in and he lost the leg." With his one leg and a cane made out of a shovel handle, Uncle Art broke horses and herded cattle. One time he had been out on Old Smokey when an eagle spooked the horse. Uncle Art fell off, busted his cane and couldn’t get back on. He crawled until he found a rock from which he could mount. He and Uncle Art went up to see Snook Moore and they got an elk. “We hid the elk in the shed when the game warden, came. We had the meat in flour sacks and blood was coming out. He asked, “Whatcha got there?” and I said it was a calf. He said, “You butchered that calf two years ago!” But he didn’t say anymore.”

In 1940 Pinedale, Hazel is 35, married to Robert S. Carlson 38, with Robert 10 and Daniel 1.

Hazel F. Carlson, born March 7, 1905, died in November 1990.
"The last liquor licenses in Pinedale before Prohibition were issued to Art Doyle's Fremont Saloon, and Gus Fardy's Pines Bar where Stockman's is now."
