Lester Davidson writes: "I am re
ceiving my copy of the State Employee
magazine and enjoying it very much.
I find the Service News very interest
ing. As six of we Highway Depart
ment employees were together we
thought it a good idea to have our pic
ture taken. As it turned out a very
good picture we thought perhaps you
could use it in the magazine.”
Thanks Lester and we hope the six
of you enjoy reunions for many years
to come.
