PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) prays for Sylvia2015-Sep-13Good Evening All, As our Jewish Brethern begin to celebrate their High Holy Days and and we pray for their well being and God's Grace upon them, I ask for your prayers for Mrs. Sylvia Blumenthal, Mother of a friend and colleague of mine, Deborah Blumenthal. Many of the Testament Stories of the Jews resonated with me. Deborah helped me to better know the meaning of one or two of my Favorites. Mrs. Blumenthal passed away a year ago and had I been aware of it, Sylvia would have been in our prayers at that time but Deborah and I have not been in touch until recently. I ask that we remember in our prayers, Sylvia, good woman that I know she was, as we pray too for Deborah and her Family that the pain they still feel at her loss be mitigated by the memory of her life and love and the beauty of Sylvia having shared her life with her Children and Family. Thank you. God Bless. Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) # - # - # - # - # 2015-Sep-13 @ 21:00 |

As deputy COO, Arnold will report directly to Chief Operating Officer (COO) Rick Fox and assist him in the management of all of the company’ regulated operations including network distribution, production, engineering water quality and environmental compliance throughout all eight states. “Colleen brings a great blend of traditional operations management experience coupled with an extraordinary background and education in water quality, which is the primary focus of what we do,” said Franklin. “Whether we are delivering tap water to our customers or returning treated wastewater to the environment, the bottom line of it all is quality.” “Colleen has more than 20 years of experience in environmental engineering and is uniquely qualified for this new role at Aqua. In addition to her years at Aqua, she also worked as a utility director for a municipal system and as a consultant with two top-tier firms, always with a focus on water and wastewater operations,” said COO Rick Fox. “On top of the routine responsibilities of her previous management positions, Colleen organized and oversaw Aqua’s Compliance Assurance Program, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and permits for all Aqua operations and established an asset management framework and implementation of a work order management system for the City of Wilmington's water distribution network. I look forward to her leadership and expertise in guiding our utility operations.” Arnold joined Aqua first in 2007 as manager of treatment and water quality at Aqua Pennsylvania following nine years of varied experience working for consulting firms, for which she provide services to water and wastewater utilities in New York City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. She left the company in 2009 to accept the position of assistant director of the City of Wilmington’s (Delaware) water division, and returned to Aqua America in 2013 in her most recent position of manager of water quality and environmental compliance. Arnold, a licensed professional engineer in Delaware, earned her B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Massachusetts and her M.S. in environmental engineering from Manhattan College. Her professional memberships include the American Water Works Association for which she is chairman and trustee for its Distribution and Plant Operations Division; the American Water Resources Association and the Water Environment Federation. Her honors include being the 1998 Thomas R. Camp Scholarship Winner; the 1993 Stearns & Wheeler Environmental Engineering & Science Award; membership in the Chi Epsilon Civil Engineering National Honor Society and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering National Honor Society; and being named Outstanding Women Engineer of the Year 1992 by the Society of Women Engineers. # - # - # - # - # Arnold, Colleen [MC????] # - # - # - # - # 2015-Sep-15 @ 10:21 Dear John, I do not find anything in my 'stuff' for Colleen.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Peter Gallaher (MC1965) prays for Tim2015-Sep-15FROM FACEBOOK Peter Gallaher (MC1965) *** begin quote *** My brother Tom had a good day yesterday, awake, alert and interested in what was going on. The nurse came by for a long visit and said she wished she could have stayed longer, she was having so much fun. While none of us has forgotten he's dying, he's still living. He has been drinking more water, and even ate some of the strained pears I got him. Our sister does the sisterly stuff, and treats him (and me) to healthy doses of our trademarked familial sarcasm. We have slipped back, the three of us, into our decades old routine of love. It's a beautiful thing, I think. I kept thinking as we sat around yesterday, of a play, by O'Niell, or Chekov, or Ford, or someone....just the three of us in the little house, and our talk, each act punctuated by his naps during the day, and the occasional visitor: the Landlady, a lovely person, the Nurse, and the ghosts of our parents like a Greek Chorus. I would add, in the last act, the Priest, who comes, visits with us all for awhile, and then he and Tom go into his room together. Stephanie and I sit quietly for a while. I don't know whether that should be the curtain...or if she should say, "I think I'll do the dishes as the lights slowly dim. Of your kindness, pray for my brother, Tom Gallaher. If you know him, you love him. If you knew him, you would love him. *** end quote *** # - # - # - # - # 2015-Sep-15 @ 10:38 Colon, Philip J.
