Congratulations on retirement #2. Now you can work on the car, WATCH over home remodeling. Of course if you get bored Karen and you can always travel, travel travel with your besties 🤔.

John, Didn’t get to work with you all that much since I haven’t been here even a year yet but just being a fellow veteran we worked well together. Hope you have an amazing retirement that all Vets deserve.

Happy Retirement to our incredible Fleet Director! Wishing you all the best as you enjoy some well-deserved time with Karen and the grandkids. Natalie, the kids, and I still need to make a trip to Las Vegas to help you cheer on the Raiders. :) Your presence will surely be missed, but we're so excited for all the upcoming travel adventures you'll be embarking on! Love Toni, Natalie & the kiddos. PS - Theo is already waiting for his next Oreo snack from you :P

John, enjoy your retirement! It's very well deserved. I don't know how we ended up talking about military technology and military history at last year's party, but it was a great conversation. Our departments didn't really get to work with each other, but it's always been clear that you know your stuff, that you're incredibly organized, and that you're dedicated. Thank you for everything you've done! Cheers!

John! Congratulations on your retirement! Can't believe you are leaving us 🥹. Although we did not get to work together as much, I really enjoyed having a conversation with you at both Christmas parties. I really appreciated your dedication to WBE and it really showed. We will miss you dearly ❤️ Wish you the best to you and your family ❤️
