I've Graduated From Work!

I retired yesterday, Friday, March 20th, 2009 after nearly 30 years in education. Linda, my supervisor, had this photo taken. Linda is on the far left. Rose, our school librarian is between her and myself. Heather, the GED teacher before me, is pictured to my right. Our counselor, Darrel, is at the far right. We all celebrated my final day at Tango's Mexican Cantina down at the docks. It was a good time and I will miss all of these folks more than I realize. The camaraderie is especially significant when you work in a prison setting such as we do. These are the people who you rely on, who look out for you, and who make going to work in such a depressing place worthwhile. Thanks, Linda, Rose, Heather, and Darrel. I will never forget you. (Pssst! Nice tan, Darrel, :-)
