Pardon the departure here from normal diamond related talk but many posters here know Judi Wolf as a longtime Whiteflash employee. We just had a retirement party for Judi today!
She was one of the original team at Whiteflash assembled over 17 years ago. Judi performed many functions here over the years and was most heavily involved in inventory control. She will be the first to admit to being a little OCD so having her in charge of making sure every diamond, every ring, and every part were accounted for was a job few could have done as well as Judi!
Some of you also know that Judi Wolf was our very own company poet laureate :) She would always mark important Whiteflash events with a poem. When we were visited by a group of pricescopers who came to view the Esperanza diamond while it was on display here, Judi had written a poem especially for them.
Her creativity, passion, and dedication were an inspiration to all of us. Her contributions are ingrained in our company culture and she will always be a part of us. We had a great time celebrating her today and wanted to share it with those of you who know her. Some pics attached.
Fun facts: Judi is a purple aholic who was actually in attendance at Woodstock!

(the designer cake was made by our own Becca Eastman and featured amethyst-like purple rock candy crystals cascading down one side). Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.)
 
Very sweet post. Congrats Judi. It's time to kick up those feet!

Judi - Congratulations on your retirement! How very exciting for you! I still have a copy of the poem you wrote for the Pricescope visit. It was lovely!
I'm sure you will be dearly missed at Whiteflash...sounds like you were perfect for your position (OCD can be a gift??? :cheeky: ).

Again, Congratulations!

Congratulations, Judi! I never met you personally, but have been a Whiteflash customer for many years. Thank you for watching over everything so carefully. You are gorgeous!

Thanks for the thread, Bryan. John, thank you for posting that wonderful picture of Judi. It really shows her glow. And, Becca, I wanted to jump into my computer and just grab a hunk of that cake. Never mind the amethysts. Give me some of those layers of cake with frosting. What a great friend you are! Whiteflash sure looks like the party place to work!!! All good folks there!

Kudos to everyone!

Congratulations!!!!!!

And I have to say... that cake looks utterly decadent - the WF team has so many enviably talented people!!! :bigsmile:
 
I am SO bummed that I missed Judi's Retirement Party. I was home being a sick puppy. It warms my heart to see all the joy though. Judi has been such a dear dear friend and Whiteflash-er to travel life with for the past 15 years. I will really miss catching up with her on her sweet grandkids, grown kids, hubby Manny, and her Oy Oy Gals. We enjoyed many of conversations about music, family, and growing up "Yankee" up north. Whiteflash has always felt like home with Judi (and Bob too) and especially when dear Mama Kip would come for a visit and to see how Judi delighted in her time spent with her sweet Mother. Rest in peace Mama Kip <3 Thank you Jude for all the love you lavished on us and for your well keeping of our precious ACA diamonds too. Our customers don't really know how much of an advocate you have been and a very intricual part of Whiteflash's growth and success, from the begining you have served with great passion, organiational skills and all while donned in lovely Purple Glory. Our hearts have been touched and encouraged by your fun, loving, witty, written word.

Go and enjoy your retired time doing all the fun things with all your spare time. We look forward to your visits with us too. Love you Judi!!
