[Oasfaa] SWASFAA recognizes McConahay

Thu Apr 8 08:11:09 CDT 2010

Julie is referencing the "years of service" recognition that SWASFAA has, they recognize people at 5 year increments.  Maybe I didn't 'report in' when I hit 20 so now my son David Page has listed me at both the 20 and 25 year marks.

Oh, yes, didn't you all know David is my son?  Yes, I adopted him shortly after meeting him when he first started working at TU.   (I find it's much cheaper and easier if you adopt them AFTER college.)   I asked him if he was old enough to be sitting in the bar with us----and after I recovered from the dirty look, we figured out that I was just barely old enough to be his mother and I've been "Mom" and he's been "Son" ever since.  My husband didn't meet him until several years later, when we were going opposite directions on a long escalator in Washington---the calls of "Mom!", "Son!" and "Meet Your Dad!" caused some amusement.

The simple answer is that I hit the 25 year mark in 2009 (I started in Financial Aid at OU in June 1984;  I started  working at OU in Payroll in Nov 1980).  It only FEELS like I've been in financial aid for 45 years.

And, Julie forgot to mention that she's on the same list......she has 30 years of FA service.    Lee Kanakis, Jacquie Jemison and Angie Rice all have hit the 20 year mark.  Debra has more years than I do.....fess up Debra, what year did you start?

Interesting ???   I know I’m a couple of years (maybe one?) older than Pam and we aren’t that old.

Having known Pam for many years she deserves this award and more.
Congrats Pam.

 I happened to be looking at the SWASFAA spring newsletter and I noticed that Pam McConahay had been recognized for a SWASFAA award (s).  One was for 25 years of service and the other award was for 20 years of service, all at the University of Oklahoma.

http://www.swasfaa.org/docs/toc_scan.html

So being the curious person I am “ I get to wondering”.  Does that mean Pam has a total of 45 years served at OU in Financial Aid?  Does it mean that she worked so hard that she received credit for 45 years  even though her tenure was only 20 or 25 years?  Interesting question. Don’t you think?
