CWA 7270 congratulates Jon Jorgenson in his retirement at the end of May.  Jon has worked for Frontier for 45 years!  He has been working as the CO tech in Lakeville for a number of years and will be dearly missed.  A gathering took place last Thursday at Babes Sports Bar and Grill in Lakeville.  Many friends attended to help Jon celebrate.  We all wish Jon a happy retirement and best wishes in his future plans.  Thanks Jon for your service!!
