Staff Milestones

Grandkids galore!
 
Congrats to our new Grandpa in the office! Vern is the proud grandad of Forest Eugene Douglas Roy Toews, who was born on March 21, 2018. His 9 lb 23.5” grandson has already passed both the Matrix Basics and CMA/Stats courses, but failed the Matrix Listings course. No word if retries are allowed. 
 
 
Kathy is looking forward to being a grandma as her daughter is due at the end of August. Kathy has already purchased several curling rocks in anticipation along with a personalized broom with the Adams slogan “Curl ’til You Hurl.”
 
Lucy is also awaiting the day of grandmothership, with her first grandchild also due in August. “I can’t wait,” Lucy said. “First baby steps, first tooth, first polish swear word; it’s going to be great!"

Our Val George is recovering nicely after her operation and keeping busy. According to Megan George, “She’s still recovering, but it's going well. She’s been going for plenty of walks and doing her crocheting.”  When asked if she was excited about the Jets and their playoff chances, Megan says, "You know, it's never come up. . .  Of course she is!"
