I want to thank all of my coworkers at the USPTO but especially PCT. The LDRC, PAS's, QMS', Analysts, Supervisors, and Management work so well together and get it done. Special thanks to Karen M and Tammy H. for all that you do!!!
Thank you Mrs. Lucas for being the best teacher I've ever had. Your ability to help us think in new creative ways and learn about the bigger world outside our small town is something I'm so grateful for and still appreciate these many, many years after I was in your class. Thank you! Teachers rule!
Kathleen Yokota Wahl and Franklin Parr. For their honesty, integrity, work ethic, and willingness to go above and beyond to protect the people and the environment in the state of California.
I want to shout out the U.S. Foreign Service Internship Program coordinating team - their guidance is invaluable, and I know I'm not the only intern inspired by their work! Marti Estell in particular is a superstar, providing incredible insight and constant support. Each and every staff member who contributes to that program deserves all the flowers they can carry.
Our most important clients are who we serve - the public. It is indeed a pleasure to be the hand that helps.
Thank you for your service.
I want to start by thanking my father who worked in social services for over 30 years. And to all my other friends and family who also work as public servants, dedicating their lives to helping others and inspiring me daily to continue to strive to do the same, you deserve to be celebrated <3
For your heart, time, and dedication to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Your drive to mentor and teach the next generation of servants. Your wiliness to put others in front of your own life.
I just would like to thank all my state coworkers that work so hard and often feel unprivileged! Be And Stay positive! We got this
Domenick Capomolla is the facility manager for one of our Science Centers located in Milford, CT. For more than a year he was detailed into the Branch Chief position while maintaining his own responsibilities as the facility manager. Domenick graciously continued the Branch Chief duties even after his temporary promotion expired. He repeatedly told me he just wanted to ensure the facilities team was taken care of and kept making progress. As Branch Chief he was responsible for the oversight of our five locations in CT, NJ, RI, MA and ME. Domenick continues to be a team player by helping the newly hired Branch Chief get settled in his new position and transferring the historical knowledge he has accumulated over the past year. I don't even want to think what could have been the condition of the facilities program had Domenick not stepped up to take the lead.
