WANTED! FOREST SERVICE RETIREES

CUSTER, SD: MAY 17, 2005

Did you once work for what some believe is the greatest agency within the United States Department of Agriculture? If you retired from the USDA Forest Service, the Black Hills National Forest wants to invite you to a summer picnic.

The forest plans to commemorate the Forest Service centennial while honoring former Forest Service employees who live in Black Hills communities.

“We’re looking for people who used to work on the Black Hills National Forest or who worked for the Forest Service anywhere and retired around here,” said Brad Exton, deputy forest supervisor.

The celebration date and location are yet to be determined, but the forest plans to announce picnic details in early June.

Those wishing to attend the event should give their name and address to Frank Carroll or Marci Eisenbraun: phone them at (605) 673-9200, send email to fcarroll@fs.fed.us or meisenbraun@fs.fed.us, or send a fax to (605) 673-9208.

“We appreciate our Forest Service family and look forward to seeing everyone,” said Carroll, public affairs officer.
