Martin: Crowd of visitors in the garden tonight.

Me: On my way out of the gym this morning I snagged some of the old gang (ex co-workers) who are still working at The Arizona Grand (AKA The Pointe) these days. L toR: Abram has been working there since 2003 as a valet (towel/locker room attendant), I began working there part-time in 1992 as an aerobics instructor and then in 1997 full time as Activities Coordinator for the fitness center members and resort guests. Deidre began as a waitress at one of the resort restaurants in 1995 and then transitioned to the Spa & Salon and is now working as Spa and Salon Coordinator, Bill was hired in 1992 as the Aerobics Coordinator and he was the one who hired me in 1992. Over the years Bill added Spa & Salon Manager to his job title and after that he also became the fitness center manager. He was my boss for many of the years I worked at The Pointe. Wendy, my friend since 2000 taught a few water areobics and running classes until 2009. Now she often meets me at the gym to either swim or lift weights with Bob and I. Linda is a massage therapist in the spa and has been since 1997. She also works at the fitness center front desk. Maribel has been a valet since 2004. She attends to towel service & locker room, always with a smile. Anyway, great folks from "Pointe Days".
