Monday Evening, June 5

Following the meal, Dan Witwer presented a cute PowerPoint on retirement.

In reality, we know that whatever Scott and Karen choose to do, they will continue to serve the Lord.

Bunny shared a few memories – as did a few others.

Bunny is Director of Pastoral Care for Chaplains.

Jim and Linda Germak are seated center. She is in white and he is in wearing a blue shirt.

Jim serves as secretary on the International Board of Directors.

Then it was time to present Scott with his gifts.

I think I introduced everyone but Bunny’s wife, Peg, seated on the right. I almost missed getting a picture of her.

Those wrapping the gift wanted to camouflage it so Scott didn’t automatically know that it was a gun.

Do you think he was surprised?

This 1921 Parker 12 gauge shotgun is just like the one his grandfather had and like the one Scott and his dad used.

“Where did you find this?”

Look at the satisfied smile on his dad’s face. 🙂 He was the one who told the International Staff what he thought would mean a lot to Scott.

Inge presented flowers and a gift to Scott’s wife, Karen.

Then there was another gift for the two of them.

I suppose they were expecting a certificate, but it was a cash gift.

Thanks to the staff and donors around the country for responding to the gift request for Scott’s retirement.

Scott giving his farewell speech and transfer of “power” to Dan Witwer.

Dan officially accepting the responsibility as President and CEO of TFC.

We are impressed with Dan and know he is very capable of the responsibility – starting July 1.

Inge wanted a few pictures with Scott and Karen.

Inge has been Scott’s Executive Assistance for many years.

Then it was over and each of us headed to our respective homes.

The International Staff did a fabulous job of preparing for this evening.
