Nearly 73 years of experience is exiting the Decatur Parks & Recreation Dept. as two resignations take effect with the advent of the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sue Milholland and Mary Friedt were honored by Decatur City Council at its Dec. 17 meeting as they wrapped up long and meritorious service to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Milholland has been with the department for nearly 40 years and Friedt for 33. That’s 73 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou won’t find two employees more dedicated to our community then these two. I appreciate all you have done,\u201d Mayor Dan Rickord said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt tough to lose both of them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milholland, director of maintenance for park & rec, joined the department as part-time help in March of 1985, then became full time in April of 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedt, youth sports coordinator, also began on a part-time basis, in June of 1989, then went full-time in August of 2000. She also has been long associated with the Bellmont High School wrestling program and is a long-time member of the Callithumpian Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolutions praising the work ethic and the dedication of each were read by City Attorney Anne Razo, after which each woman received a standing ovation from all those in the council chambers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have truly made Decatur a better place,\u201d the mayor told them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
