Dad's retirement party

We took a trip to Wyoming the second week in June to celebrate my Dad's retirement. He is an electrical engineer and worked for a company called Automation Electronics for 39 years. He began sweeping the floors before he went to college. He actually hired Stewart Tanner, who now owns the company, about 25 years ago as a salesman. The party was at the Casper Country Club. There were about 130 people there to celebrate. Stewart gave a very kind speech about my Dad and his role in the development and success of A & E over the years. I am very proud of my Dad and his dedication to Automation. I am also SOOOOOO excited to have him and my Mom moving closer to us in the next few months. Congratulations Dad, you deserve the best.

One of the main things Automation does is design circuit boards that help control and run oil wells. This was a circuit board lamp that some of the guys made as a gag gift. Pretty funny.

And, yes those wires that are on the circuit boards are similar to the ones I used to cut when I worked in the back off and on in high school and over Christmas break in college. BORING, but I guess they are important when they are all put together. :-)
