Retiree News

The State Department of Defense once held Awards and Retirement luncheons twice a year. These luncheons recognized retiring Federal and state employees. Current employees who achieved 10, 20, 30 or more years of longevity received service awards. Luncheons were held at the Hale Koa Hotel.

This photograph shows Jeffrey Hickman and Love Williamson, the luncheon co-emcees going over their notes. Each retiree had the opportunity to speak and those speeches were always interesting. Jeff and Love were great emcees that kept the program moving along.
