Anderson (Dr. Barkers grandson) has been working with us the last few summers, and some during the school year after school and practice. He came in a very shy boy, and has turned into such a funny, WITTY, hard working, young man.
When he heard “Hey, Anderson” yelled throughout the office, he literally came running. He kept our sterilization room caught up and running smoothly, would occasionally hold lips for crown impressions, would see a mess in the floor and grabbed a broom without being asked. He LEARNED dental instruments, tools, and procedures. We could ask him to bring us just about anything in the office, and he was on it. He helped break down rooms, set them up, and even put operative trays together. He was a trooper when we had our 50 gallons of water delievered that needed to be stored upstairs. He learned the ins and outs of doing laundry, making coffee, and working with a bunch of women. There is no telling how many times this poor guy went to the farmers market for us.
Funny joke from today. Anderson was being questioned on his favorite dessert so we could order him something. He was asked later if he knew what was going on. He said “I kind of figured, but Sharon was gone for a really long time, so I got nervous she was getting water from Walmart since there isn’t much up there” 😂 He thought we would get one last water load out of him.
He wasn’t greeted at the office in the morning with your typical “morning”, he was greeted with a very high spirited “ANDERSOOONNNN.”
We hate to see you go, but we are so proud of you!
HEY ANDERSON! Do great things, and have fun at Berry!
PS - don’t forget your name now that it’s not being called fiftyleven times a day 😂
