Pictures from Arch Coal Awards

Wish I could remember the order of the names. I'll give it a try.
Left to right: Tom Nedreberg-VP of UEA;Janiece Tuttle, Richfield; Ashlee Larsen, Monroe; Lori Labrum, Orangeville; Karen Hansen, Gunnison; Bonny Dahlsrud, Salina; One of the many officials present from Arch Coal (wish I knew exactly which one to give him credit). They were all such nice people.
My family that was able to be there: Julie (my sister), Nancy (daughter), Me, my wonderful husband Garth, Nicky (my daughter). I so appreciate all their support, love, and trust in me. I know other members of my family would have liked to be there, but circumstances made it impossible. We missed them, but know they were there in spirit.
The men in this picture are some of the few I will actually take orders from! If they suggest something I need to do, I'll do it to my best ability. Garth (my husband), Jed Jensen, (Elementary Supervisor from the District Office), and Kirk Sitterud (Superintendent). Kirk hired me to teach at Cottonwood Elementary 26 years ago. He showed great trust and faith in me, and has continued to do so during his years as Elementary Supervisor and now as Superintendent. Jed has been a friend since high school. He give us the latitude we need to do our jobs without too many restrictions, giving us support in whatever we feel we need. My husband is always there to support me and knows why I spend so much time at school. I truly love him with all my heart.
