18 Chattanooga from other fires all around. My family luckily was not impacted. Another year is upon us and still look forward to another year of working with the alumni, students, staff, faculty and friends of the Boone Pickens School of Geology. I am however getting a little closer to retirement. I hope you will stop by the department next time you are in town, just to say hi! Ms. Tabitha Schneider Administrative Support Specialist II It has been four and half years since I first started here at Boone Pickens School of Geology. In that time I have learned so much and have had the privilege to work with so many wonderful alumni, students, staff and faculty. This last year has been busy and sometimes hectic here in the office. With every student and faculty member I speak to, I continue to learn more each day. This past July my family and I were finally able to find a new house and get moved in over the 4th of July weekend. The house we found is between Perkins and Stillwater but still in the Perkins School District. It is a beautiful place and my daughter is excited because it has a couple of acres and she was able to bring up her horse from Spiro. The kids are growing up way too fast, Ellijah recently turned 11 years old and this is his last year as a Cub Scout. This past weekend, he went on an overnight camping trip at the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. It was his first without me and of course he had a blast while I was a nervous wreck. Allison had her 9th birthday last week and I was able to surprise her with cupcakes during our Wednesday night class at church. She and the other girls in class loved it and I wasn’t in quite as much trouble as I should have been since I forgot to get them in time to take to school. The last four and half years have been a blessing to me and my family. I have enjoyed my time here at the Boone Pickens School of Geology. It is with conflicting emotions and not a little bit of sadness that I announce my resignation. It has been a pleasure working with all of you and I want to thank you for making my time here an experience to remember. I will leave my contact information with Sandy in case anyone needs to contact me once my university email is cancelled.
