On this date in 1985, I started to work for the state, Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, in Pasco. Thanks to Ray Adams for hiring me at WUTC, and to Luther Beaty for hiring me at WSDOT almost 26 years ago in Wenatchee. God has had a hand in leading me and I am so thankful for each job and each friend I made along the way. I often think how life could have been different if I had made different decisions? For example I was offered a job on coast in 1975 but stayed in Grand Coulee, after my boss gave me a raise. I was offered a job in Ephrata selling Farmers Insurance about that time as well; and even interviewed for a Olympia Police officer and a State Trooper in the Early 80s- before I took the WUTC job in Pasco on todays date. Little did I know when I accepted that job 34 years ago, I would see three different towns to live in, eight different work offices to call home, 6 assigned cars/pickups, and the many great people I would get to work with. I am blessed with so many wonderful jobs- this video highlights a few of the jobs I have had over the years.
