Cathy and Some Coworkers
early last month Cathy gave notice of her plans to retire at the end of November. Normally we would have had some sort of retirement get together near that date, but the Rockville buildings were scheduled to close on the 19th and the cafe a few days earlier than that. The new building in Bethesda wasn’t going to be accessible until December 1. So we scheduled her farewell party on the twelfth. She didn’t think a lot of folks would come but was pleasantly surprised and had more than I did two months ago. Part of that is that so many of the folks I work with are remote and scattered across the country. But she’s a lot more popular than she thinks and we all had a nice time visiting.
