WELL WISHES

Aaron,

I have “SO” enjoyed working with you and calling you a dear friend over the past many,
many years. You have been a great PM and mentor to so many. I fondly remember you and
I sitting in our Cheetah Learning 4 day cram class in Atlanta and then both of us passing on
day 5 (Friday). Calling each other to celebrate and see how we both did. That was a tough
week, but such a good class. You did so well on your exams in class, too! Here you were
not spending the night and I stayed at the hotel and continued to cram all evening. But, all
worth it, right? PMP Certified!!! Also, you always cheered up the 3 floor then 20 floor by
rd
th
walking down the aisles and saying hello and also greeting me in the breakroom. You have
done so many great projects in IS and other. I enjoyed also getting to work with you on

DCCE these past few years. Thank you for all that you have done. Enjoy retirement! You
deserve it. I’m not far behind you! 40 years for me in June, but not 45 (WOW!). You can
join all of other friends who have already joined the retirement club (and from Facebook…I
can see they are all loving it!)

Sincerely and stay in touch,

Susan Baldwin

It has been a pleasure to work with you over the years. I remember my first interactions
with you and Mani and going to Chicken 69 for lunch. I also remember working with you
and Jeffery Jackson over the years. You always have a good attitude and are always interest-
ed in having fun. You will be missed, don’t spend all that bonus check at once. Take good
care of yourself. Anthony Pate

It’s rare to hear of such loyalty. 45 years with SoCo! Hope your retirement years are joyful

and active. Wishing you happy times. Aruna Pillutla

What an accomplishment! 45 years is an Aaron…It’s been a pleasure working with
incredible feat and deserves an applause!!! you over the last decade or so. I wish you
I wish you the best in your well deserved the best in retirement and hope you get to
next chapter in whatever you decide to do go on some of those amazing trips again
and not to do.. God Bless! Doug Howard soon! Cheers! Michael Stewart

In the short time I’ve known you (relative to your long career at Southern), you’ve always
been a bright light to me – generating warmth where ever you are, whether in a Brazilian
rain forest during the Olympics (simply amazing!), or just having a friendly chat when pass-
ing in the hallway. I’m sad that you are leaving and will truly miss you – but I am so happy
for you for your retirement and wish you the best of everything! Take care, Susan Pezely

Congratulations, Aaron! Best wishes on your new chapter in life! Erika Harvell
