Message from Ed Czwerinski (immediate past State Director of Assessments)
To The STSR Referees:
First and foremost I want to congratulate Randy Francis on his appointment as your SDA. I know he will work tirelessly for you
by continuing the improvement of the assessment program of STSR.
Secondly, I want to thank those who sent me their best wishes for a speedy recovery from my recent illness. I am indeed making
speedy and steady progress. I’m not quite 100% yet, but hopefully in a few months I’ll be back on the pitch assessing and back
in the classroom instructing.
When I announced that I would be leaving South Texas at the Assessor/Instructor In-Service Clinic, I said that it had been a pleasure
to be associated with so many wonderful people over the past twenty years. During my convalescence, I’ve had some time, actually a lot,
to reminisce and think things over. I have concluded that that was an understatement. Without getting too maudlin, let me just say that you
are a fantastic group of people. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of STSR.
My best wishes for your continued success.
