As a long-serving 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 employee, Karen Mann returned to the President鈥檚 House for afternoon tea鈥攔etracing a journey she took 50 years ago as a 15-year-old student just beginning university.
鈥淚t was all very nice. I remember being very nervous,鈥 recalled Dr. Mann originally from Windsor, N.S. 鈥淲e were all sitting on chairs and on the floor. The president had all the freshmen over for tea; compared to today, there weren鈥檛 that many of us.鈥
Having just received her 25-year pin from 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 President Tom Traves, Dr. Mann reflected on a long association with 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, where she got her three degrees and has been employed on and off (to raise her children) since 1967. A professor in the Division of Medical Education at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Medical School, she is retiring at the end of the month.

鈥淐oming in here today and thinking about retirement, it feels like a lovely circle,鈥 says Dr. Mann, who mingled with other long-serving employees at the tea last Friday. 鈥淚 still feel very enthusiastic about 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and I love the work, but I feel ready for a transition.鈥
Other 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 employees who nibbled Florentines and sipped tea at the president鈥檚 gracious home included:
