Markuson retires

On February 28, a retirement party for Robin Markuson, County Executive Director at the USDA Farm Service Agency, was held at Carter County Events Center.

Markuson started with the FSA in 1984 as a temporary employee, then became a full time program technician, spent 17 years as a loan officer and has spent the last five and a half years as the executive director.

The party featured a sit down dinner served by Carter County High School FCCLA members, cake and refreshments. It was organized by her coworkers, family and friends and was attended by most of the community.

Above, Markuson is pictured with one of her three sons-in-law, Matt Nies, who solicited the Eagle for a picture of the two of them together and wanted to be on the front page. Markuson agreed to the photo, with preference towards its publishing on an interior page.

Congratulations Robin!
