Short Talk 45 (Listen and Read)

Welcome, everyone.

Many of you know, we are here to pay tribute to our coworker and friend, Jack Anders,

on his retirement after 30 years at our company.

Mr. Anders was the third employee hired, when we started out in 1990.

He's been with us through the good times and the bad,

and now he's ready to move down to Florida and have the life we all dream of.

While most of you know Mr. Anders as the president of Accounting,

you may be surprised to know he was first hired as an office assistant.

Let's give a round of applause to Mr. Anders!
