Today is my last day for working for Families Together

Today is my last day working for Families Together. The reason why is Chris Curry Director of Families Together told me about a year and a half ago that she is going to retire this May. So it is time for me to move on also. It would not be the same for me without Chris here.



In addition the bus ride from Moscow to Pullman is difficult for me to do every day. Last summer the bus didn't run so I had to work in Moscow. When Irene Lundsford, who works for the Center on Disabilities and Human Development (CDHD) heard that the bus wasn't running she called my Mom. Our families have been friends since my family lived in Bovill and Irene lived in Deary. Irene has known me a for my whole life. She said that Ron Siler, who also works at the center would be out of the office for the summer and I could use his office.


I liked working at the CDHD office and really got to know everyone. So when a job opportunity came along at CDHD, I decided to try for it. To make a long story short, I had an interview with the Assistive Technology Department and they offered me the job. I accepted and will be doing data inputting as well as demonstrating the equipment that is available.


I have been worked here for eighteen years and I have to say this. I am honored to have worked with Chris Curry.

What I did laat night 11-19-2009

Yesterday when I got off work I went to catch the bus to go back to Moscow. When I got back to the bus stop I walked over to Center of Disabilities and Human Development. I don't know if I told you, last year Chris Curry who started Families Together told me that she is going to retire this May. This past summer the bus that runs from University of Idaho to Washington State University had stopped for summer.

So to make a long story short, I reply to work for Assisstive Technology. It will be hard to leave Families Together, because I have been here since 1991 and Chris Curry is means so much more to me than a boss she is my best friend. Without her I don't know what I would have done.

After that I went home Fran was there she fed me and read to me. Last night I went to a metting Self Advocate Leadership Network. They Elects Officers and I am secretary, I will meet will meet with Mell before she write a note.
