FERGUSONS From pg. 2 for us last year. We have thoroughly enjoyed partnering with these two from the inception of the Valley Star Awards Show. We have learned a lot from these two and we can only hope that we can measure up and continue to maintain the very high standards of professionalism, fairness, and quality. “They definitely had the interests of the Activity Directors as their priority,” said Peter Loring at Seven Oaks, of their commitment to the activity directors and the association. They are an amazing team, con t r i bu t - ed Maude from Casa del Valle. They share, they care, and are so organized – all reasons they have made such a huge impact on those they have served. They make one feel important no matter whether you’re an entertainer or a volunteer. Being part of their team has been one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences for so many. Sue Dodd said of Robert and Billie, they were good teachers and “with their guidance everything always seemed to just fall into place like clockwork. [They] will be leaving a legacy from which we can all profit and learn.” “They are the epitome of integrity and fairness, which was very much in line with the way I always tried to operate my business. That’s just who they are – “good people.” Robert is a true leader, and Billie is the one who would flawlessly take care of all the behind-the-scenes details to make sure everything worked as planned,” said Jim Brunson. Linda Miller, who served with them for several years, said they were always good to bounce ideas off of. Their job was a year-round job because they were always sharing about the Valley even while they were home in Tennessee or traveling to events. They always gave their very best wherever they worked, whatever project was set before them. “They are two of my favorite people,” said Miller. “Couldn’t have been better friends to everybody, and especially me. I love them dearly.” For us, current owners of theWinter Texan T i m e s , we know we have a lot to live up to taking over the Valley Star Aw a r d s . We hope we can con t i nue their legacy and put on a great show year after year. They are going to be a tough act to follow, but they were great examples and have provided us with lessons we won’t forget. Jim shared some words that we can all relate to, “Happy trails, Robert and Billie, until we meet again. We are surely going to miss you. I am proud to call you my good friends. “Congratulations on the Heritage Award, an award you certainly deserve. You have created a wonderful heritage for us to reflect upon and for others to build upon. You have raised the bar for all those who follow. God bless you in this next chapter of life.” Everyone here at the Winter Texan Times and the Valley Star Awards would like to echo what so many have already expressed to Robert and Billie. We love you and thank you! Know that you will be missed!
