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.

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?
