my retirement luncheon.... awesome. tons of folks showed... it humbled me...
in fact, top Senior Executive Service people were there that I had delt with in the past, worked for in the past, etc. But what got me was, the second in command of GSA...the Assist. Administrator (White House) showed. I had met him years ago... he made two of the awards...a letter from the Administrator (I'm not posting it) and this award:
yes, I am very moved by the whole thing... I guess you take a lot for granted working all these years for the same "organization"....many folks become like family...
the third award was from the Director of GSA Fleet...
It moved me.........
The gentleman that hired me in 1975 was there.. the superivisor that appointed me in charge of the Federal Tire Qualifcation Program in 1984....saying i was the one to do it... presented me with this.. and its friggin awesome.. some of you old timers will get a kick out of it.. back then... we had to throw a good bluff on the tire industry... and much of our work was 'matchbook'... well... he contacted the industry and came up with collection.. for our 'matchbook bluff' worked wonders back then... I will cherish this forever..
anyway..wanted to share a very important day in my life my friends here... I am truly humbled.
