Next on my list of awesome women is Dr. Theresa Hamilton! Once again, all these great women are leaving us at Calhoun! Theresa has been our Vice President and Dean of Instruction for many years and she has recently retired. However, she’s going to keep on working, but in Mississippi, as the Vice President of another community college. Congratulations to her! But, we will miss her tremendously! She has been at Calhoun for many years and has done many great things. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell her how she has influenced me in so many positive ways. I would always see her when I was working out at the college and she’s so approachable and easy to talk to. I appreciate that about her. She is also a wonderful wife and devoted mother, which I’ve come to know through personal conversations with her. She’s also a fellow travel buff and I love to get advice on my trips from her. These pictures are from a reception held in her honor at Calhoun. Jack Barham (Calhoun instructor) read a poem in her honor, and as you can see, the entire college personnel came out to wish her well. Jackie Gooch (in the yellow) has been her secretary/right-hand woman for many years, and I’m sure she will miss her the most! Thank you Theresa, for the great advice you’ve given me over the years and for the fun times we’ve had together. I will truly miss you!
