Employee Newsletter of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife February 2012 Damron to Retire after 37 years After 37 years of service to the sportsmen and women of Oklahoma, Loren Damron (LE), game warden supervisor stationed in Roger Mills County, is retiring. One of the striking aspects of Loren’s ODWC career is that he served his entire career, all 37 years, in Roger Mills County. It is no exaggeration to say that the outdoor community of hunters, anglers and law enforcement officials in western Oklahoma will greatly miss him. Damron was hired as a game warden in Roger Mills County on October 8, 1974, and went to work with a passion. District Seven chief Thor Carlson (LE) said, “As a game warden, Loren has always been energetic and enthusiastic about catching wildlife violators.” Law Enforcement Chief Robert Fleenor (LE) remembers an early encounter with Loren. “I first met Loren shortly after I reported to my initial duty assignment of Latimer County in 1976. Loren came up to me one day in Wilburton and introduced himself. He was in town visiting his sister who lived nearby. I was impressed by how friendly Loren was as he welcomed me into the Wildlife Department family.” Damron worked hard and earned the respect of his peers, and in 1993 he was promoted to warden supervisor. “I really like working with him as a supervisor,” said warden Brandon Lehrman (LE). “He’s a good guy and I hate to see him go.” “All the wardens in the district respect him,” said warden Clint Carpenter (LE). “He’s going to be a hard one to replace.” Damron has also earned respect for the discipline and priorities he has, putting great emphasis on his family and his faith. “Loren has excellent character,” said warden James Champeau (LE), a frequent hunting partner. “He is very giving and very spiritual, a devout Christian man. When we are out hunting, he does his devotional, even if he has to do it by flashlight in the tent. He is also very dedicated to his family.” Fleenor says Damron has left a proud legacy from his many years of service. “Loren is well respected throughout western Oklahoma and is known as a game warden who has always been intent on performing his duties the ‘right way.’ Even though Loren has been a game warden for over 37 years, he has continued to produce an excellent work product, both in the field and as a supervisor,” Fleenor said. Thor Carlson agrees that Damron will be missed. “Loren has always worked closely with landowners, and he is well-respected in the county and in the district for his work ethic. Of course, he has a little more work coming after he retires. He’s due in court in March from cases made from the airplane last fall.” District Seven Lieutenant Bryan Wilkerson (LE) wrote this about Damron’s career with the ODWC: “How do you sum up almost four decades of service as an Oklahoma Game Warden in a few sentences?
