Retirement! Tim!



























Tim has just 12 work days left.  His company honored him with a 3 hour retirement dinner!

Lynne writes:

"The dinner was attended by both of us, I know some photos were taken, but I was too busy laughing and applauding to take any myself, it was a 3 hour homage to Tim, quite blew me away!

Here is a photo of Tim's award, the quote was amazing, the President found it and felt it epitomized Tim's style, she is very thoughtful.
She also gave him a lovely set of hand-painted plates with various birds freely painted upon them in honor of a bird painting I did for her, hanging in her office.
He also received a gorgeous brass planer for his boat building from VP of Sales, a special charger for his gadgets when he hikes, 3 lucky Chinese figurines carried back from Hong Kong by the IT VP, who had just returned from visiting her family there, and many other goodies, several restaurant gift cards, etc.

I am trying to get a copy of Tim's speech for you as he mentioned his extended family in it as well. "

The engraving on Tim's elegant retirement award reads:

"Spirit of a Leader

A true leader has the confidence
to stand alone, the courage to make'
tough decisions and the compassion
to listen to the needs of others,  He does
not set out to be a leader, but becomes
one by the quality of his actions and the
integrity of his intent.  Leaders like eagles
don't flock.  You find them one at a time.
