Dear Employees,
On May 28, we will honor 154 long term employees
who have been at Saint Joseph Hospital for five, 10,
15, 20 and 25 years. They have been good years for
all of us, and we are fortunate to have so many
employees who have served Saint Joseph so well.
Our long term employees do much to make new
employees feel at home, by telling them the history
of Saint Joseph, the good things that have happened
through the years, about our strengths and how we
try to correct any weaknesses, and how important we
consider our employees. We do try to provide a satis-
fying work experience for each individual employee,
as we all share in the care of the sick.
Laura Gaskin, Frances Morgan and Al Holland have
been here 25 years; Ann Tennant, Pauline Martinez,
Ethel Wheatley, Dorothy Romero, for 20 years; Lois
Mermis, Gladys Hitchcock, Margaret Smyth, Katherine
Allen, Maria Bernal, Avelina Montoya, Marie Evans,
Darnelle Fraser, Frances Greenwood, Bernice Nelson,
Alice Thompson, Leland Matlack, Willard Pugh, Jose
Martinez, Lucille Batson for 15 years; 47 employees
for 10 years and 84 for five years. I am so apprecia-
tive for all my fine employees, and for all you do for
Saint Joseph.
A most grateful thank you, a hearty congratulations,
and best wishes for continued health and service at
Saint Joseph. May God bless you all most abundantly!
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Andrew

Jealousy and envy are shortcomings which can make
us ineffective and cripple us severely.
These cripplers are affected by nearly every talent,
ability or material well being of others � those
developed through great effort and time as well as
those which are pure gifts of God. Jealousy and envy
may even be caused by the voice, features or wit of
others.
The effects of jealousy and envy are unending. By
allowing these weaknesses to be so powerful, I rob
myself and make myself less a person. By spending
time and emotions on being envious, I fail to appreci-
ate, use or develop my own God-given talents and
gifts. I imply, consciously or otherwise, that God, the
very source of these gifts and talents, has treated me
unjustly. I feel that others have been treated well,
while I have been neglected. Most important, I try
(want) to be someone other than myself.
Learn to appreciate your individuality. Don't work to
be different from what your talents make you, but
rather work to be yourself. Then you will be different, ^B
since no two people are alike in gifts and talent. What ^^
an odd and laughable sight it would be if a rabbit,
envious of a bird's ability to fly, were to try to take
off and fly. We make an odd and laughable sight out
of ourselves when we try to be someone other than
our real selves.
We should admire and appreciate the talents of others,
while developing our own gifts and talents. Popeye,
of comic strip fame, always said "I am what I am
'cause I am." So be it!
