On Saturday night, we went to Watertown. A surprise party was thrown for Joe Meyers, one of Hillary's co-workers. He is retiring from the Watertown School District. Joe is a wonderful friend that has served the Watertown High School for thirteen years. He is an incredibly kind man with an enormous and generous heart. Joe will be missed by the staff and students of WHS.
Joe is a prankster. He often puts my stapler and tape dispenser in my bag, which I usually notice at home. Another teacher informed me that Joe has put some kind of Vaseline-like substance on her door handle. It looks like I got away easy compared to the door handle prank!
Joe often leaves little pictures of goofy looking pets (like a dog with a human's face) on our desks. He has been known to leave treats on our desks as well. Many staff members have pieces (benches, book shelves, napkin holders, trays) from Joe's woodworking business in their classrooms and homes. We have been so fortunate to have such a wonderful friend here at WHS. Joe always brightens up anyone's day--both staff and students. Joe is looking forward to relaxing with his lovely wife, Joanie, traveling, walking, and continuing his wood working business.
To make sure Joe stays busy in his retirement, here is a brief "advertisement" for his business: Joe's Primitives. 210 S. Water St. Watertown, WI 920-261-4308. Authentic hand-crafted barn-board furnishings made from antique wood-heirlooms for your home! You can find his work in the Watertown Market on Water Street.
Grady, Joe and Hillary.
Grady and Joe--Aren't they adorable together? Joe always says he's going to "spank Grady in the hinder!"
