News from the Hobby Unit includes lots of activity with folks coming and going.

In the past couple of months, the following people have left Hobby for greener pastures; some to other units and some to the private sector.

We wish them all good luck in their endeavors and hope they realize that we’ll all miss them.

Those leaving us are: Mr. Hill (2nd shift officer), Ms. Jobe (Necessities), Mr. Tepera (2nd shift officer), Ms. Clapp (Inmate Records), Sgt. McCoy (Field), and Ms. Jones (2nd shift officer).

Congratulations to Ms. Taylor who went to a new position as the Vocational School Officer and to Ms. Gilbert, the new Education Dept. Officer.

Good luck to you both as you take over new duties.

Great news to share about promotions; Capt. Dirk Gray has promoted to Telford Unit and will become Major Gray, and Sgt. Freeman has gone from Building Sergeant to Field Sergeant.

We’re proud of you and wish you both well in your new positions. We’ll certainly miss Major Gray.

Hobby is proud to have received some new employees in the Maintenance Department.

Welcome to Mr. Hogan, Mr. Stimmel, and Ms. Watson. We hope you’ll enjoy working with us at the Hobby Unit and we’re glad you’ve joined us!

The Special Olympics Fundraising Team has been busy with several activities such as hamburger and hot dog lunches, the Fun Day, bake sales and they are planning a car wash soon.

They have had a great success in their efforts and we appreciate all their hard work. Keep it up guys ... thanks for all you do.

Thanks to all the Correctional Officers at the Hobby Unit and at other units, too. You are the unsung heroes and you do not get enough recognition for the work you do.

Those of us who work in other departments at the Hobby Unit appreciate you and realize that without you our jobs would be hard to do.

Thanks for working with us. Together everyone achieves more.
