Julie,
It has been a pleasure working with you over these past years. It is amazing how time flies, and the length of time we have been colleagues and friends. Thank you for always supporting Northwest students, but thank you even more for your personal support over the years. You always ask how my family is doing and check in on them often, and that is so meaningful to me. You have one of the sweetest hearts and are one of the most kind people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Good Luck in your retirement, and enjoy sleeping in this September while the rest of us continue to get up early.
Enjoy your family time and your retirement. I will miss you and your kindness. -Mr. Klinger (Kenzey Clark)
