We are both happy and sad to announce Mary Adams' retirement. Mary has been an instrumental part of Vessel's growth over the last 5 years. Without her, the wheels would have fallen off this bus long ago. At Vessel she leveraged her deep experience in architecture office administration to help us grow and mature in an orderly way. Brian and Pete always appreciated Mary's 'old-school' cool, from her 120 wpm typing speed to her rare skill in taking shorthand. Her competence was foundational to running a great office.

But the thing Brian and Pete appreciate most about Mary is her character. This she will take with her throughout her far more important role in retirement as elder, mother, and grandparent to her family and friends. Mary, after 48 years of work well done, your retirement is hard-earned. We pray God's blessing on you and your family as you enjoy this next chapter in your life!
