  • Retirement Means a New Beginning
    Newsletter of the Merritt Island Wildlife Association Habi-Chat Volume 17 Number 4 Winter 2011 Retirement Means a New Beginning For more than 33 years, I have been fortunate to be in a job that I truly love, but the time has come for me to move on and I will retire at the end of December. It has been a wonderful career and I would not change one minute of it, but we must choose to either expand our experience or grow stale. It is time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life and allow others to grow the program. Retirement will mean a new beginning for me and the Refuge. I certainly will miss my job, my personnel connections with staff, working with the many dedicated volunteers, and the great relationship I have with many MIWA members and the hard working MIWA Board. You all have been a very special part of my life and our shared experiences have enriched my life beyond measure. It is these special relationships I will miss the most. I wish each of you that support the Refuge through your membership, time, and talents, nothing but the best. Dorn Whitmore, USFWS Retiree Dorn Whitmore, Supervisory Ranger Photo by Sandee Larsen Much has changed over the years since Dorn arrived: 1978 The headquarters was located in an abandon residence just east of Oak Hammock Trail. The Refuge had a staff of 12 and the visitor program consisted of two facilities: Black Point Wildlife Drive and Oak Hammock Trail. 1979 Palm Hammock Trail opens.
