I just retired for the second time this year. My contract work was more intense than I thought it would be, but it was very satisfying. The new District Forester at Fairfield is up and running. I think she will do great things in the years ahead. Mel Gerardo was the first DF at Fairfield. He was a Marine vet, and he fought at the Chosin Resorvoir. I have eternal respect for him. He left Fairfield to run the state nursery at Anna-Jonesboro, and he was superb in that job. Rick Moore was the second DF; then Gary Stratton, who was my boss while I worked at Fairfield. Jenny Lesko is the new District Forester, and she has a solid foundation with her education at Notre Dame and Purdue. I think she will do great things in District 19, Fairfield, Illinois.
Anyhow, which of these do you think fits my mood tonight?
Yep, I feel good! Bobby's song is a downer, and it is great to be permanently unemployed!
Congratulations, sir.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great hand-off.
I had the privilege of working a few days with Jenny when she came on board. I think she will be do great things in her new job.
