was asked by President Greg about retirementnews after 48½ years with Kern High School District. Jim andPresident Greg then had some discussion about the length ofJim’s probationary period with the district and to which superinten-dent Jim reports. Congratulations were offered to Jim for hisservice to the community.
President Greg asked to assist him in recogniz-ing on her new job as legal counsel for Tejon RanchCompany. Barry was asked to assist since he wrote the pressrelease announcing the appointment listing Teri’s many accom-plishments and membership, but leaving out her Rotary service.Barry exhibited his considerable skills at spinning the story, but inthe end, was fined for his oversight. Teri was recognized as well,even though she includes her Rotary membership and service onher resume which she provided to Barry. Teri will continue OfCounsel at her law firm and put property owners on notice that shewill still be paying attention. Oh, and that pig hunting enterprise atTejon Ranch might be getting some attention from the new attor-ney!

There was some discussion about underwear and aphotograph and this editor decided not to pursue detailed informa-tion. was congratulated, again, for his appointment asChair of the Board of Realtors following a recent full color pictureand article in the newspaper.
