No, not Moynihan. I did find this, and apparently this was some Military person who died in Iraq; not a former official of Wyoming.....

"In the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff."

I'm still confused. Will call newspaper tomorrow if it doesn't show up on the News.
