Letter from James R. Dean

Becky Welsh Will Be Missed

I was very disappointed to read in “The Freeman’s Journal” that Becky Welsh is no longer with the Price Chopper as a greeter and assistant at the self-checkout stations.

While I was not in the store often, she always greeted me with “Hello, Mr. Dean” even when I did not see her first. She often helped me when I had a problem with checking myself out.

She worked very hard, she was always moving and was always very pleasant. I admired her discipline and fortitude.

I would sometimes tease her by saying, “Have you captured any criminals today?”

I do not know the circumstances of Becky being let go, but if it was possibly for age alone, then this may not be the end of the story.
