Ah, February, when red and pink dominate the stores and thoughts turn to love. I was very blessed to grow up in a loving home and have experienced many kinds of love throughout my life. My husband and I have been married for over 40 years and that relationship has only deepened as we have faced life’s challenges together. I love my children and their families and treasure the time we spend together.
Having lived in the same house for almost 30 years, we have put down deep roots, developing love for our neighbors and friends. Co-workers, church friends, and people we serve with in the community—I love them all. I especially love my students. I find great satisfaction in their progress and enjoy their enthusiasm and excitement.
As I come closer to the end of my time as president, I want to express my love for each of you as well. Some of you I don’t know very well; some are my dear friends. But I am grateful for the influence you have had on me. Your ideas have benefited my teaching, and your friendship has enriched my life.
Anyone who has served as DVMTA president knows that it takes the efforts of many, many hands to make this organization flourish. I’m grateful for the time and energy you give, for the way you prepare your students for our events, for the service you render, and for the wonderful examples you are to me.
Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do. You have blessed my life.
With love,
Lorri McHardy
