Shuttle Runner.

I have been a Shuttle Runner for 15 years for Barnes Jewish Hospital and i am eenjoying it very much and plan to continue to do that for another 15 years and hope to retire after that and they love me for what i do and i have won several awards including employee of the year for 2005 and the caring spirit award in January of 2007 and i can tell you that everytime i am off on my day off or on vacation they mess it up and i get complaints from the Nurses and Docs who depend on me do it right so they hate it when i am not there. In other news that i have is that i am a member of the National Federation of the Blind with our Illinois Affiliate and we do have a Chapter here in Belleville and we are small but very close knit and we plan to grow and have more people be involved and it may be difficult to get people to come but we want people to know that if anyone knows that someone is Blind or visually imparied whether it is here in Belleville and surrounding areas of the Metro East and other parts of the Country let them know that their is help for them and i have been going to state and National Conventions when my schedule allows me to go and we just had our National Convention in Detroit this past July and was very well attended so please pass this on to anyone that you may know so i want to thank the Reunion commitee for letting me post this message and thank you for your support and goodbye.
