Social Security Alumni Update .. January 2012

It's been a while since I posted to this blog.  Lots has happened.  Most importantly, we have moved into the space vacated by the Social Security History Room.  That office has moved to a marvelous space in the Operations Building, where one can trace the whole history of the Social Security program through to the current day.  If you can finagle a visit to this historical place, called The Social Security Museum, you will be in for a treat.  Larry DeWitt has realistically recreated the environment when this great Government program was born.

Meanwhile, here are a few pictures of our new space, and some of our beautiful office workers.







Some Social Security folks have been very helpful to us in obtaining and setting up our new office.  Especially helpful has been Kathy Jeffries.  I don't know how we could have made it this far without her expert guidance.
