Where was photograph of school’s retirees?

Dear editor,

I congratulate everyone that was awarded a pin or plaque for their service at Rockdale ISD.

I felt that the retirees who served Rockdale ISD for 35-38 years should have been pictured.

To be employed in a district for that amount of years is an accomplishment and deserves recognition.

Thank you,

Wanda Cooksey

Editor’s note: Absolutely agreed. Look on page 8A of this week’s issue. Just for the record, here’s what happened. The Reporter received from the school eight photos of the recent awards reception. Not having room for eight photos, we had three prepared for publication and placed on a color page, the last page in the paper to be made up. Those three included the retirees. On deadline day two crime stories had to be placed on that page so we went only with the other two photos, 30 and 25-year service pins. All persons honored in all eight pictures were listed in the caption.—M.B.
