Platypus gift—a reminder of creation
Published September 25th, 2006 in Around AiG
The first photo today shows me holding a wonderful gift that arrived this week. It’s a platypus, of course—an incredibly designed creature from my native land of Australia. It was handcrafted from wood by Mr. LaVerne Anderson of Des Moines, Iowa, a long-time friend of AiG and a museum charter member—in fact, every few months, he makes the 550-mile drive (one way) to check on the museum’s progress here in Northern Kentucky.
One of his hobbies is wood-working. He also made a wooden platypus for our CCO, Mark Looy (who also happens to be an Aussie). Thanks, LaVerne. As I often say, the platypus is my favorite animal—I sometimes say that I think everytime an evolutionist looks at the platypus, I think God smiles! Think about it—it has a bill like a duck, a beaver-like tail, webbed feet like an otter, hair like a bear, claws like a reptile, lays eggs like a turtle and has poison like a snake!! But, it’s designed to do what it does do and what it does do it does do well—doesn’t it, don’t you think, I think it does, do you—I do—hope you do too, do you?

Members of the leadership team, including myself, served our staff pizza for lunch today. This was the beginning of our “staff appreciation week.” I have attached a photo of some of the staff having the pizza lunch—and one photo of me serving my mother and sister who joined with the staff for lunch.
We have many other things planned for the staff this week including:
Monday, Sept. 25—Pizza Party from 11:30–1:00p.m.
Tuesday, Sept. 26—Special prize giveaways throughout the day, recognition of the 200th Employee
Wednesday, Sept. 27—Dessert Social (2:00–3:00p.m.) and complimentary Vehicle Identification Number etching for cars both provided by Liberty Mutual
Thursday, Sept. 28—Appreciation gift giveaway to all employees
Friday, Sept. 29—Staff breakfast, Casual day (hot breakfast served by leadership team).
