permanently in 1992. Fortunately
her former position had not been
filled, so she slipped back into her
familiar routine.
During the years she worked
under Patricia Moore's guidance,
Stacey was given the opportunity
to handle a variety of tasks
beyond working on the collec-
tions. The museum, fairly small
as museums go, has never been
subsidized by the city, so fund
raising activities, grants, future
planning, became a part of her
responsibilities.
Now, with her new title of
director, looking forward to new
challenges--the biggest one
being expanding their financial
base in order to afford doing the
type of exhibits any dedicated
director dreams of.

Taking over a new position is a
challenge. But Jordan also under-
stood, coming from a small town
himself, that it would take time
and effort to gain the trust and
respect of the community.
He jumped in head first, join-
ing Rotary, becoming active in
the Chamber of Conunerce, play-
ing golf with the Men's Club, and
relaxing with the Off The Rock
Club. Carl has become a member
of the Avalon family--and now,
we have to say good-bye.
It was a difficult decision to
make when Jordan was offered a
position at the Lake Forest
Branch near Mission Viejo. The
job offered had a lot of potential
for career growth.
But Carl has grown to love
Avalon, and leaving was difficult
to contemplate. He and his room-
mate Joel Orozco have enjoyed
friendships here that are actually
more like family.
"The closest friends I've ever
had live here. I truly care about
them," said Jordan. "They under-
stand why I have to leave."
There are many things that
Carl will miss when he leaves for
his new job early this February.
Walking to work (instead of an
hour commute), playing golf on
this course, knowing all the faces
and places, his staff. "TMs is the
best staff that I have ever worked
with for with " smile.
