Challenge Coins Staying Vigilant

Top Climber Alex Ayala and Climber Dillion Marie were riding with another WTS employee to their next job site. When chatting with the driver, Dillion noticed that the driver wasn’t looking quite right. He saw that the driver’s face was a bit droopy. Dillion asked the driver if they were okay. They then turned to try to smile at him to signify that they were fine but couldn’t smile. At that time, Dillion advised the driver to pull over and to park in a safe location, which they did. Alex and Dillion called 911 and informed their general foreperson of the situation. First responders transported the driver to a medical facility. The driver was treated and released later.

Thank you for being Brother’s and Sister’s Keepers, Alex and Dillion!

Retirements

For Project Manager Mitch Frye, the last 38 years with WTS passed by in a blink of an eye. Mitch started with WTS in 1984 as a trimmer in Parson, Kansas. Over the years, Mitch has held the positions of crew leader, general foreperson, and project manager. As of March 31, Mitch retired from WTS. “Mitch was my first crew leader when I started with WTS, and I can’t thank him enough for making my start with the company enjoyable and educational,” said President Wade Myers. “I can’t remember a day when Mitch showed up to work without a smile on his face, and he was always ready to work. Mitch has been a dedicated member of our family and has influenced many others over his career. Congratulations to him on a very well-deserved retirement.”

From everyone at WTS, thank you for your dedication, Mitch! We wish you well in retirement.
