INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE /JULY 17, 1990

 

 

Douglas College’s loss — Vancouver Community College’s gain

crowd of well wishers
gathered on the balcony of
the Registrar’s Office on
Friday, July 6 to say farewell to
Penny Gallagher, Douglas
College’s former Assistant to the
Registrar. Gallagher will be joining
the team at Vancouver Com-
munity College, King Edward
Campus, as their new Registrar.
In order to keep the party a
surprise, her clever co-workers
told Gallagher they were having a

 

 

 

 

 

Penny Gallagher and a colleague .

 

“decade party" to celebrate the
birthdays of Trish Angus — soon
to be forty, Myrna Wing — fifty,
and Kathy Rai and Debbie Perrin
who both turned thirty recently.
Gallagher even brought the
birthday group special "decade"
balloons to commemorate before

realizing the party was actually in
her honour.

Between bites, drinks and
jokes, Gallagher’s workmates
reminisced about the past and
wished her well in her future en-
deavours.

 

 

 

 

 

Bursar Peter Greenwood and
Registrar Trish Angus.

 

"It’s a great loss, a sad day,”
said Myrna Wing, Admissions.
“Penny did a good job. She was
easy to work with and always
took care of problems quickly and
efficiently."

"We want to wish Penny very
good fortune," said Trish Angus,
Registrar.

The consensus amongst the

group was that replacing Gal-
lagher would not be an easy task.

"We're all going to miss her,”
said Jan Basaraba, Graduation
Secretary. "She’s excellent to work
with. The person who’s going to
replace Penny will have to be
extra special, just like she is."

As Gallagher tidied up her of-
fice for the last time, she was some-
what sentimental at the thought of
leaving Douglas College and her
friends.

Remembering when she
joined the College two years ago,
Gallagher said "Time went by too
fast. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been
here long enough. I’m going to
miss everyone." #
