• Hod Retired. Don Retired. I and others remained.
Change continued. New leaders came and went.
• I RECOGNIZED THAT
Those who were with us started something that I liked.
They created an atmosphere that I was able to fit into .
NOW, THEY WERE GONE.
It Was Up To Me And Those Around Me
To Affect The Atmosphere Around Us .
I told my co-workers that.
The atmosphere was not being provided for us as it
was.
We now must provide the atmosphere.
