Last Friday, Chelan's dad reached a milestone - retirement day! He had been working for Marion Die & Fixture for 28 years! Previous to that, he worked at Hesston Corp. (known now as AGCO). Our family joined him for a special lunch celebrating the occasion! I think he enjoyed showing his grandchildren where he worked - it was such a big part of his everyday life for so long.
Chelan's dad is hoping to get a lot accomplished around the farm during his retirement. He may have retired from Marion Die & Fixture, but he definitely has not retired from farming. These first three days have left him pretty worn-out by the time evening rolls around!
Congratulations "Big Guy!" (Chelan's nickname for him) We're all proud of you!
