As I have gotten older, and my kids are grown and gone, I miss the excitement of young children during the holiday season. Last Friday evening, Judy and I were invited to attend the tree-lighting ceremony at the base. A highlight for us was the kids singing traditional Christmas carols.
I shared our appreciation for all that our local airmen do for our community and country. I also thanked their families for their support of all our military members. The tree was beautiful! Gen.
Huser and Col. Galbert invited Judy and I to their holiday reception at Quarters 92 on the base. We so appreciate the invitations and hospitality the base shows us year-round.
Their historic home is beautiful, and it was so nice to catch up with base leadership and community members. Everyone was in the Christmas spirit. Cheyenne has witnessed growth in high-tech jobs, especially with our emerging data center development.
This week, I was invited to learn about a new company that is in the emerging technology sector. I was blown away by their use of augmented reality, mixed reality, virtual reality, volumetric capture, AI and more. These organizations are mostly located on the coasts, but I hope they will be successful in bringing one to Cheyenne.
I can see the way their skills could help educate the world on the wonders of our beautiful state and encourage tourists to visit. It will take some collaboration to achieve the funding necessary to make it happen. The global market size for AI is projected .
