Outstanding Sale Clerk recieved 40 year Service Award.
Myra retired last year from serving as a show ring and sale clerk. She was presented with a floral arrangement, and engraved cutting board to commerate her 40 years of service to the Midwest Stud Ram Sale. Many of you will remember when Myra from check-in for so many years! She also worked the show ring where she would ensure that numbers were recoreded properly to then produce the sale orders. And from the many hours she spent durning sale time collecting payments and turning out reciepts to buyers. Myra was always willing to help, and loved coming to the sale each year. She treated all the staff, consignors and many buyers as family. Myra will be greatly remembered for all she did to support the Midwest Stud Ram Sale for all her 40 years of service! We can not thank you enough Myra!

Larry was a great friend and personality around the Midwest Sale. He came early and worked with Rob Frost and the gopher crew and then stayed to work as a ringman the rest of the week. Everyone enjoyed working with Larry.

In April 2015, we received news that Larry had been very sick. Shortly after, he had a stroke and had to have open heart surgery. We continue to get word of his recovery, but it is going to be a very long road!

In December 2015, good news came that Larry was making some headway in recovery. He moved to a assisted living center and was improving enough to move around and eat some regular meals. At that time, he was only speaking a few words... but enjoyed all the cards and letters sent his way. If you know Larry from his work with the sale, we encourage you to send him a note to: Larry Varnadoe, Room 213 Magnolia Manor 2255 Frederica Rd St. Simons Island, GA 31522 --- Page 32 ---
