RE: Peggy Calliham Retirement
Thanks Anne! That helps a lot! I appreciate your very quick and very thorough response!
Hayden Migl, Assistant to the City Manager
That was one of the best invitations I have ever seen! It was beautiful!
Barbara Moore, Neighborhood Services Coordinator
Wow, nice work on this! I like your idea for the invitation…. Jay Socol, Director, Public Communications, COCS
Would you add me to your e-mail contact and distribution list please? Joe Muguerza, my good friend, has been generously forwarding some of your alerts to keep me informed of things he
knows I have a decided passion for, e. g. the Hot Rocks Cookoff. I'm studying Anthropology/Archaeology at Blinn and this alert was and is of tremendous interest for me and my classmates
with whom I've shared it. I hope to see you there :-) Steve Morgan
RE: Heritage Programs Christmas Newsletter
The Christmas message from your Heritage Programs group was delightful and reminded me of many of our photos which are very similar to yours. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
Fain McDougal, BVVM Board of Directors
As always, very impressive. Also very diplomatic! Mike Davis, Austin, Texas
What a nice piece. Thanks for putting all of the memories together. My husband and I really enjoy your work. Keep it up!! Ann Pittman
What a thoughtful, sweet way to announce Peggy's retirement. Also loved the early history of CS.
With thanks for your work I'll also wish you joyful Holidays, a beautiful and Merry Christmas, and many blessings in the New Year. Helen Cluck
Fantastic pictures. Thank you so much. Glenn Brown, City Manager, COCS
The pics of the net bonnet over the brush rollers really brought back memories. I think I have a similar picture from that same year! Rebecca Tyler, AMD, Austin, Texas
Anne I would like to thank you for the good job you do with the Heritage program. I enjoy seeing the pictures of how it used to be when I was little in College Station. Again thank you
for your hard work and Merry Christmas. Mark Williams, Utility Dispatch, COCS
I thoroughly enjoyed your holiday message. Thanks for all the hard work that
went into that! Merry Christmas! Donnis Baggett, The Eagle
Thank you for the beautiful card and the Christmas memories of your family, TAMU and College Station. So fascinating. I am thankful for both you and for your mission that makes life
more interesting in College Station. Joanna Yeager
