He could not have gotten a better retirement present, albeit by luck or happenstance, either. "I got a great retirement gift, I drew a bighorn sheep tag, almost impossible to draw," Mason said.

Last year, with help from the Cheney Building Department, we redesigned the bathrooms to near ADA standards. So we have a wheelchai...
