In her own words....

30 years has gone by so fast!

I started at MDS on 1/3/96 as a temp employee thru Gal Friday. I was hired full time on 5/28/96 and became the accounts payable clerk.

When I first started at MDS I was using a word processor to do my work! We only had cell phones in the transportation vans and they were as big as a book. We did have pagers for on call employees. Our office was on route 101 in the Ranger Curran building (across from Ciardelli). We moved to Railroad St in 2000 and my desk has been in the same spot since then. That is when we received the plant that is climbing around the business office. Mary Coates takes care of it.

I have worked along side a lot of good people during my time here - Mary Coates, Kelly Sutherland, Sheila Mahon, Shelly Patenaude and Paula Smith - have all had to put up with me for 30 years.

Thanks for all the memories,
Joyce
