Had a wonderful luncheon and lots of goodies and food. I have never been hugged so many times. They even gave me a congratulatory memo signed by President Obama. My husband was there of course and they even gave him a big thank you memo too for supporting me through out my career. They almost made me cry twice but I got through it all, no tears.

Hugs

Donna

    CONGRATULATIONS DONNA!
    Sounds like you had a wonderful day and it sounds like you will be missed? When do you leave on your trip. I remember you saying you were coming to Salisbury, MD. They have a storm watch until Friday on the eastern shore due to hurricane Fred. Be safe. Hugs, Jean

    I'm so jealous
    2 more years for me. Looking forward to the day I can sleep in and plan some traveling.
    If you come down to south Florida, look me up! We're in Sebastian, about 60 miles south of the cape. Have a wonderful retirement! Enjoy every single day!

    Donna, a signed document by our President - Cherished by your
    co workers, like we Warriors here at ACS cherish you as well. Congradulations, Donna! I like so many others would of been crying, with black mascara running down my face! Are you packed and ready for your vacation? What type of plans do you have for yourself once your return from vacation? Building another hard drive from scratch ? I am in awe of your knowledge, girl.

    Donna - enjoy the great outdoors while on vacation .. We will be thinking of you, and again Congratulations on retirement -)))
