A Fun Gift to Say Thanks For a Job Well Done

Dec. 9 marked Roger Wykle's last day as mayor of the town of Moraga. His colleagues noted how much they enjoyed his mayorship, the firm and respectful way he conducted meetings and discussed issues with his colleagues, even when disagreeing, and the calm he was able to restore in the most heated moments. Town Manager Jill Keimach paid him the biggest homage that evening, saying how she appreciated how hard he worked behind the scenes. She also explained about a few of the mayor's pet peeves, including a pair of shoes that had been dangling on a wire over a street by the park. "We didn't have a cherry picker in town and had not been able to take care of it," said Keimach. "Jay Ingram (Parks and Recreation director) talked to one of our contractors who had a cherry picker, and we took the shoes down." Staff bronzed the shoes, mounted them on a piece of wood with a wire, and gave them in good fun to Wykle as a thank you gift. - Sophie Braccini
