Posted

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama -- Unlike the old George Jones hit of the 1990s, eight staffers at Robertsdale Elementary School might just be ready for their rocking chairs, presented to retirees during a special ceremony and reception held Friday, May 26 at the school library.

Principal Faye Sheppard and Assistant Principal Bob Weichert said a few words about each retiree before presenting them with their very own rocking chair.

The eight combined for over 200 years of experience.

This year's retirees are Mark Brown, 23 years; Linda Johnson, 24 years; Rhonda Mosley, 25 years; Rose Davis, 26 years; Donna Blackwell, 26 years; Tracie Knight, 28 years; Ann Phildius, 32 years; and Susie Vivar, 35 years.
