Steven was promoted to Major in the Army this past Friday. They had a nice ceremony at the hospital and ended with a reception of cake and punch. It was the first time that I got to pin on his new rank, gold oak leaves. Those who work closest to Steven said a few words about him. It was enjoyable to be present as they spoke of his hard work ethic and surgical skills. With not having many opportunities to observe Steven within his work environment, it was nice to hear the observations and experiences of others. It was definitely an afternoon to remember. Way to go Major Ballard.
