Office farewell party

Ranae Burkett, our administrative coordinator, hosted a farewell barbecue last night. Many of my office colleagues were in attendance, some with spouses.

In attendance: Meryl Mantione; Kirby and Kristi Koriath; John Scheib; Ranae Burkett and her husband; Jana Millspaugh; Kristi Pence and her husband; Linda Elliott; Kathryn McPherson and her husband; Frank Lockwood; Jeff Seitz and his family; Barbara and Erwin Mueller; Duke the dog.

The hit of the night was Jeff Seitz’ daughter, Amelia. Ranae’s dog Duke was a close second.

The staff presented me a lovely desk clock. I’m grateful indeed.
