Bob was the chief there for 36 years, the entire hospital and county knew who he was. If he met you, you were his friend. They had to hold his funeral service at a community center because of how many people they knew would come. I owe my entire career to him and cannot say enough good things about him as a boss and a person, and I am sure most of the people in my department would say the same. My dad actually worked at the same hospital for over 30 years before he retired, and said that Bob was the only guy who he never heard a bad thing about. Our new chief was one of our assistant chiefs and has done a great job taking over thankfully.

I have so many stories that nobody would believe! I wish I had figured out what I wanted to do sooner but it's so nice to be here now :)

As I have some free time and boredom is still a thing, I'll probably pop up more often.
