Hoo Received Employee Recognition Rewards One of Perspective’s goals is to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Facilities Management employees. Recipients of Employee Recognition awards have been included over the years because we want all our colleagues and our readers throughout the University to know the many people for whom outstanding service is the custom rather than the exception. The Employee Reward and Recognition Program rewards staffers with a monetary or non-monetary award as allowed by University policy. (See Directive 135B, Facilities Management Employee Rewards and Recognition). We will continue to recognize a representative sample of the employees who receive recognition under the program. Our colleagues named here earned Reward and Recognition Awards September through November 2004.

Shown above are (standing L-R) Chuck Pugh, Bruce Lovelace, Vern Lamb, Robert Watson, Don Beyers, Alan Jarvis and Charlie Durrer; (L-R) Bud Hindes, Clayton Robertson, Director Cheryl Gomez, Bill Seibert and Bill Farish. In September at Health System’s Jordan Hall, the main heating system converter developed a severe leak, putting untreated water into the return line to the heat plant, jeopardizing the boilers. Bud Hindes, Alan Jarvis, Richard Barbour, Scott Martin and Brian Gibson performed a superior and extremely critical emergency replacement on the converter, saving the University potential boiler problems and avoiding future problems for Jordan Hall. In October, problems turned the scheduled annual 12-hour shutdown at the Heat Plant into a marathon 27 hours straight for staffers Vern Lamb, Bruce Lovelace, Clayton Roberts, Robert Watson, William Siebert, Bud Hindes, Larry Shifflett, Alan Jarvis, Donnie Hackney, Bill Farish, Don Byers and Charlie Durrer. (Right) Fred Reese and David Gowen were recognized after they came to the aid of a pedestrian who took a bad fall while walking to her office. She was impressed by and appreciative of their act of kindness. “The University is very fortunate to have such men in their employ,” she said.

Bonnie Hurtt (left), customer service manager, retired after 17 years at Facilities Management and a total of 40 years with the State of Virginia. Joining her colleagues for a farewell are Rick Rice, Mark Webb and Jay Klingel and the team with whom she first worked as supervisor of the service desk, Darlene Webb (center) and Brenda Buttner. In a letter of congratulations, CFO Bob Dillman wrote, “As we think about customer service in Facilities Management, we first think about Bonnie Hurtt.” She served as acting Customer Service Representative for nine months and was selected to fill the position permanently in October 1997. “That was probably one of the best decisions Facilities Management has made,” Bob continued. “You have been a model for us all.” Business Mgmt.

Hoo’s Retired... Harry Pontious, retired after 17 years at Facilities Management. His career here began as an HVAC mechanic leadman. He was promoted to senior technician with the Systems Control Center in 1995, and later to B&G supervisor A. The Systems Control team has worked together through blizzards, hurricanes, thunderstorms and more. Being on the “thunderstorm shift” (starting at 4 p.m.), Harry handled more than his share of them, but that he did it so smoothly and with little notice by customers is a credit to him. Because Harry is also a World War I French history enthusiast, his colleagues presented him with a mounted bayonet on a plaque with the phrase “la votre connaissance et sagesse seront douloureusement manquees” (translation: Your knowledge and wisdom will be sorely missed.) With him here are (clockwise from lower left) J.J. Jefferson, Mike Dalton, Chris Greene, David Reed, Tommy McRay, J.B. Agee, Vince Muscarella, and Wesley Chesser.
