To the Rochester Selectmen:
It is with bittersweet emotion that I write this letter to notify you of my retirement. I will be 70 years old on August 14, 2015 and I would like to give myself a birthday present on that day; hence, my retirement date will be August 14, 2015.
The past 15 years have been a wonderful journey for me. The selectmen and town administrators I have worked under have all been great to work with during my time of employment. I have been blessed and honored to work with a fantastic boss, the best team of inspectors, and co-workers that have proven to be team players on every level. I have become very fond of the town and its residents, as well as the contractors, technicians, developers and all those I have been a service to over the years. I will surely take many unforgettable memories with me.
I wish to thank each and every one of you for making my journey some of the most cherished years of my life. I hope that I have left something here in Rochester that has brought enhancement to the town and its residents. As I make my exit, I can only hope that I have touched as many lives as those who have touched mine.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
Isabel “Izzy” Borges
