heart but a little older in years . He started in the Utility
Department as a Water Technician and in 1977 he went to the Street
department as an Equipment Operator. On April 1, 1984 Buddy
received a promotion in the Street Department as an Assistant
Supervisor. On January 7, 1985 Buddy became the Street Supervisor.
As the department began to grow, he took on more responsibility and
became the Parks, Parkways, Trees and Drainage Supervisor on
October 1, 1989 . Buddy has kept the department together through
the rough times and the good times . He is dedicated to the Public
Works department and the City as a whole .
Along with his plaque, Buddy will receive a gift certificate in the
amount of $350 . 00 to spend at "Sears" in the West Oaks Mall . Also,
because of the twenty-five years of service Buddy was able to
select a special gift by the City. He has chosen a "Bulova Quartz
Watch" which is in the mail .
