| Judy Stonger, receiving her Lifetime Achievement Award |
Well, as it turns out, today is Judy Stonger's birthday ---- but that's not why she's being featured here.
Many of you may not have had the privilege of working with Judy at HSD in the late 1970's to 1980's. She left I/T to pursue a completely different career in the field of mental health.
Judy retired earlier this year after more than 24 years with the Wheeler Clinic in Connecticut. While there, she rose to the position of Vice President of Prevention, Wellness, and Recovery.
Several weeks ago, she was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS).
In Judy's own words:
"I was invited to the CT Prevention Conference for lunch and was extremely humbled to be awarded a Lifetime Achievement award by my friends and colleagues at DMHAS. I even received a lovely standing ovation by a packed ballroom. I am very blessed, and have a full and grateful heart. Thank you, one and all, for a day that I will always remember and cherish. "

ENJOY MANY YEARS OF RETIREMENT!
