I was chosen to be the GE Healthcare Fitness Center, Barrington, IL, Fitness Member of the Month, recognized through the month of April 2011.

With the team support that I led and participated in, with GE Veterans Network, we gave some long-term care patients just the break they deserve. A little help here and there does make the difference.

They expressed to each and every one of us, their gratitude with an expressed "thank you," and a firm handshake, because they knew we cared, and came to help them.

{ The effort was during the federal government shutdown period, where I was held-on to during the furlough period, being classified as an "Essential Employee"​ of the federal government to remain open and working. I enjoyed a business trip to San Francisco, and I stayed at a nice place on Bush St., close to the IRM facility where work was done in the absence on a single employee at the time. How's that for a story to share? Pure joy, and thankful that the dispute finally came to a positive resolution for all concerned. } Show less
