Today marks another special anniversary for Lisa Simpson who has been at HAVAR for an incredible forty seven years, having started when she wasn't yet out of high school. Three children and five grandchildren later she's still with us, setting the record for the employee with the most longevity ever at our company! Here is a rare picture of Lisa before she and our director Shelby Rhodes both got some much needed rhinoplasty.

Celebrating Wade again! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ajsh4xiMJ/

Every day for the next few days we will be highlighting articles from the ACBDD’s 2026 Special Edition.

This publication is created in partnership with Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and The Post. It is created every year in March as a part of Developmental Disability Awareness Month.

Today’s article is about our friend Wade! Few stories reflect that mission more fully than that of Wade, a lifelong member of the ACBDD community whose journey has come full circle.

We hope you enjoy this article. The full edition can be found via the link below, or a hard copy can be picked up wherever you find The Post.

Congratulations to all our DSPs who reached their five-year employment anniversary in 2025! Our own Robin C. wanted her picture taken with her much deserved plaque, and we obliged. If anyone else doesn't mind having their pic posted with their anniversary plaque, let us know. Thanks, Robin!

Special thanks to volunteers from People's Bank this week for devoting some time in staining the wheelchair ramp at our Marietta office! No, Rebecca Rhodes Minear wasn't the only volunteer. Everyone else apparently was just camera shy 😆. Your help volunteerism is much appreciated People's Bank!
