With the okay of my doctor and taking the proper precautions, I have been able to return to my office after my recent retinal eye surgery. However, I will not be able to fly for several months nor drive for the next few weeks. I appreciate all the cards and emails of support. It is great to be a part of such a supportive organization.
Congratulations to Steve Campbell, Area Associate Agent, Natural Resources/Forestry in Navajo County for his recent appointment by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission to serve on the Heritage Public Advisory Committee for a three-year term.
