Retiring Soon – So Thanks To All My USDA Family

Working for the USDA for 32 years
Has been a privilege and an honor.
Now like an old Alma Mater,
Sweet memories I hold.
All I can say it was the people there
That made it so special, and no other place can quite compare.

Now there is not enough space and time,
To list all my friends here fourfold.
Starting from the folks now in my life, back to many years ago.
You all have stuck to me like glue and have been there
Through the good times and bad; so to me, you are like gold.
Many thanks to you all for the sweet, dear memories that I will forever hold.

P. S. Thanks for all the great farewell wishes, party dinners, party luncheons, thoughtful cards, phone calls, and gift cards from my USDA/FSIS family all over the country…I really appreciated it.  Please keep in touch!  Robert
