Today we honor one who doesn’t always seek the public’s view,
But the work that’s done is important to me and to you.

You could be thinking upon a first meeting, I’ve seen her before somewhere,
Maybe a ways back when you paid your Uber driver fare!

So quickly she learned many great things like a champ;
Logbooks, the lingo and navigating CAMP.

She operates behind the scenes to keep things going,
Offering motivation, maybe without even knowing.

“She’s like the shop Mom” a coworker says,
Join me in congratulating Sandra Alvarez!

Sometimes the best surprises just walk through the door,
When you know not what to expect, nor what is in store.

Such was the case, when what to our wondering eyes did appear?
Talent and smarts wrapped all up in cheer.

Without a lot of chatter, though lively and quick,
Working diligently down to that last static wick.

On Cessna, On Piper, On Cirrus, On Beechcraft;
Proficient in work, from stringer to crankshaft.

Content when the props are all hung with care,
Us pilots are thankful that her work was there.

We’re better together, that much we know is true,
But even more so, with Ellen here too!

Poem by Ryan Crowl - President, Loyd's Aviation.

Join us in congratulating Ellen for making employee of the quarter!
