I was saddened to hear our former WSDOT District Administrator Don Senn passed away last weekend. He retired a few years ago, and lost a battle to cancer. Don never thought he was too good not to talk to anyone at DOT and always would stop and visit and listen when he could. He set a good example, was tremendous leader in our community and at work, and actually started working over the striping crew when he started his career at WSDOT. I have worked for WSDOT since 1992 and they truly are a great bunch of people to work with-I just don't tell them that enough. When people ask, when I will retire?; I ask why or I don’t know? We have had a few retire, a few quit, a few transfer, and even a few die of natural causes since I made this video several years ago, when Dwayne Standerford retired. It has photos of many of my co-workers and This video reminds me of what a great team I work with every day and to count my blessings again. It also reminds me to thank those around me while they are still living.
