Dolores Stachowski was the master of the NCR machine. Using only one finger to key in data, she could still fly through trays of work. She took great pride in her organization of the file room. Dolores was the only person who knew exactly where everything belonged.

“I knew that when Dolores retired we would have to hire two people to replace her,” said her longtime co-worker Jackie Whittier.

Dolores did make the decision to retire, and on September 29 she was surrounded by her family and co-workers to celebrate her 21 years of service to the Collector of Revenue’s office. Three of Dolores’ five children were able to join in a delicious luncheon hosted by her department and a ceremony given by Collector of Revenue Gregory F.X. Daly.

Dolores began her career in the Lateral Sewer Line Department when it existed. After a year there, she transferred to Data Processing and remained there for 20 years.

“I knew I could depend on Dolores,” Daly noted in his speech. “We have been very fortunate to have her. She leaves us with a lot of good memories and an extremely organized file room!”

“Dolores is the type of person everyone would like to have as a fiend,” noted Mary Jenkerson, one of Dolores’ closest friends and co-workers. “She is a true friend. It is hard to see her retire. We will miss her here at work.”

Dolores plans to have an active retirement with her family and plenty of time spent on our local gambling boats! We wish her a long, happy, and healthy retirement! Congratulations, Dolores!
