Dear Friends of Dr Preston,
As many of you may already know, Dr Preston is retiring this year. My family had the great fortune of having Dr Preston when we were redistricted to Crockerfarm. I cannot sing his praises loud or long enough, my daughter speaks of him often and gives him hugs whenever she can.  He will be truly missed by my family as I am sure he will be missed by yours. As usual, he does not wish a lot of excitement around this, but many of you have expressed a desire to do "something".  We are thinking of taking up a fund for a mini vacation in Baltimore (a dog friendly establishment). If you wish to donate and or give him a note I will leave an envelope in the front office. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me
justyneogdahl@gmail.com

Remember this is a surprise, so shhh.

Sincerely,
Justyne Ogdahl
