Farewell: Round 2
Brewery.
This is our official A. Company farewell. We have absolutely loved this company. It is comprised of a really great group of people and I highly doubt we will ever have the opportunity to work and play with such an amazing group of people again. Parting is definitely with deep sorrow.
The people Matt works with are also the people we enjoy playing with. We've gone on camping and ski trips together, had countless barbecues, summer pool trips, a hundred dinners, and been to at least a dozen festivals. There are single soldiers, young married couples, couples with kids and couples with grown kids - though our demographics are vastly different we have an absolutely great time with these people.
We had a great turn-out for the farewell dinner. Another family that we are close with is leaving too and so we were both farewelled together last night. Alton and Matt are both key players in the company - for different reasons - and their simultaneous departure is sad for a lot of people in the company. It was touching to hear the great things that were said about Matt and for Matt to have the opportunity to tell his comrades how he felt about them.
We all received gifts, the boys got company coins from the commander, I received a company stein and Matt got an awesome "award" for landing with the brakes on one day and a really nice personalized humidor.
Although it was sad to be farewelled from the company, we'll see all these people for a few more weeks so we didn't have to actually say our last goodbye's yet. Thankfully, we were granted a reprieve!
