Banquet honors dedicated staffers

Family, friends, and co-workers joined in the festivities Friday evening as 53 dedicated Career Service staff members were honored for their continuous service to the University. Sponsored by the Staff Council, the annual banquet honored 27 employees who reached their five-year mark and 26 staffers who attained 10 years of service. A new feature of this year's banquet was a special tribute paid those employees who retired during the year.

Margaret Tanner, above, and Virginia Cross, at left, retired from the University this year. Recognized for their achievement during Friday's Staff Council Awards Banquet, each received a Certificate of Appreciation from President Colbourn.

The food was good, the crowd was congenial, and the music swung! Entertaining during the evening's festivities in the University Dining Room was a quintet of musicians with some familiar faces—that's Pete Pilkington at left, Jim Eller on fiddle, and David Dees on banjo. Lead guitarist is Jack Collins, father of a UCF graduate, and playing bass is a UCF student.

President Colbourn noted that they are "at liberty to initiate any such discussions as they feel appropriate and useful." He added that "I believe the ombudspersons can significantly Ron Phillips, left, and visiting British scientist Eric Jakeman check out a laser beam and prism in UCF's alleviate and frequently defuse optics lab. problems and crises in a useful and constructive way."
