Marianne Nixa and Darrell Bryan retired from Rural Development USDA on April 1, 2010.  A recognition event was held at the state office followed by a pizza party at Village Inn.

State Director Colleen Callahan presents Darrell with an award and wishes him well on his retirement.

Hubby, along with several other coworkers and retirees, remarked on Marianne's and Darrell's achieve-ments and  contributions to Rural Development.

Marianne is not a hugger, but she got several hugs from her previous bosses and coworkers.  Jim Reifsteck was her boss when she came to the state office.

Marianne gets the last word in the form of a poem.
