Sometimes you have to admire the quietness....the quietness someone uses to go about their daily tasks...and finishes the day with great success.
In watching and working with Phyllis Fritsch for many years I have always been amazed at how she has maintained her wonderfully peaceful demeanor while accomplishing so much.
Phyllis has been the solid foundation that a tremendous hospital and medical institution has been built. She has surrounded herself with a top notch supporting cast, done her job and more. Much, much more.
Sunday there is a reception to honor her as she begins her retirement. It is being held for three hours....1 to 4 p.m.....at the Wellness Center.
Three hours do not seem enough to say thank you for all she has done. But knowing Phyllis, that will be too much fuss.
You can read about her years of service in this week's spotlight. Staff writer Brooke Bechen did a great job capturing her life dedicated to providing a high quality medical service for this area.
You can attend the session Sunday and tell her thank you.
You can be thankful we had her for 40 plus years.
