Photo Friday...

I do not often contribute to Photo Friday, but that is mostly because our Camera was broken. We splurged just before Christmas and got it fixed, and as such we should be having more opportunities to contribute to the under-appreciated Photo Friday. Sorry we are part of the unappreciating party. This photo was taken by Jodi on approach to a tunnel on our way through the Colorado Rockies. She is fascinated by mountain-tunnels and was actually quite frustrated she couldn't get the picture to come out clear, but I would say it is an exquisite work of art.

A Tribute to the Main Man in my Life

The best thing that has ever happened in my life!

Just wanted you all to know!

COLD!!!

Yep, it is currently -23 at my house with a windchill of -38. I am so COLD! Joe comes home tonight, yippee. He has been in Chicago all week for work. We all seem to be surviving. Taking out the dog in these ridiculous temperatures has messed up my throat again. now, I wrap a scarf around my face about five times before going out. It seems to help. I am very much looking forward to Marquie coming this weekend. She is babysitting so Joe and I can go on a date Monday and Tuesday. Merry Christmas to me! Don't worry, it is supposed to get all the way up to 24 degrees before you get here Marquie..... This week, Flagstaff is looking pretty great. We haven't heard anything yet, but Joe is going to send an e-mail when he gets back in tonight. we will kep you posted. This is a picture of us apple picking. Surprise, it was cold and windy that day too. We had so much fun and the apples were great!

RE: Letter of Reference: Joseph Petersen

Dear Mr. Obrzut:

I could not be more delighted than to give the highest recommendation for Joseph Petersen in consideration for the position of Director of Horticulture. He is an outstanding gentleman.

I had the pleasure of having Joe in three of my Webster University MBA courses—two finance courses and the Capstone Business and Strategies course. Joe is eternally optimistic, hard working, dedicated, and a joy to be around. He was always a constant delight to his instructor and fellow classmates. He was the ultimate team player in several team case assignments and was always sought after for advice from his colleagues.

Joe is also a dedicated family man with the highest amount of love and devotion to his family. He is an extremely hard worker.

You do have the opportunity to learn about a person after three classes. Joe was always dedicated to his job and profession. I often asked him questions about my yard and foliage just due to his knowledge and interest in the field. He often provided anecdotes about some of his jobs, duties and assignments—always in a positive, professional manner.

You could not be better served than to seriously consider Joe for this position.

I would welcome the opportunity to elaborate further on any questions you might have.

Sincerely,



Stephen M. Pill

Liz Makes Headlines

Liz was noted in the latest Faculty newsletter for American Public University System.  She was one of the top rated (by students) instructors at the University.  Her supervisor was very impressed.

She also wants everyone to notice that very few of those names are preceded by "Dr."  PhD≠good teacher.  Now you know . . . and so does everyone else.
