“I enjoy being part of a team and working together to get the job done, it's a new adventure every day! I’ve enjoyed sharing my knowledge and helping the next generation learn how to safely do their job. I enjoy seeing the little ones giving me the arm to toot my horn, I remember doing that as a child. Seeing them get excited when I do, makes my day a little brighter. I enjoy being able to show my kids and grandkids the wonderful things that I've done at work. I like to let them know that I try to make things better for everyone around me. Being part of this winning team is a wonderful job, that's why I've been here for over 20 years!” -Annette Ivie
