CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Gov. Dave Freudenthal on Thursday released the names of three candidates the Game and Fish Commission has recommended to head the Game and Fish Department.
The three are:

-Dr. Tom Thorne, acting director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Thorne has also worked for the department as services division chief and assistant chief, as a branch chief of the state's Wildlife Veterinary Research Services, and as a wildlife veterinarian.
-Jim Schwartz, deputy director of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. Schwartz is a past natural resources consultant for the Western Governors' Association and natural resource program coordinator/resource conservationist with the Natural Resource Conservation Service/Soil Conservation Service.
The commission submitted the names to Freudenthal on Monday. Freudenthal plans to interview all three candidates before making his selection.
