Hole in the Wall, the resale and thrift shop in Guilford Center that provides major support to Guilford ABC, thrives due to the dedication of the staff. After many years of service, Amy Mickelson is retiring. Patty Sullivan, manager of the store, writes about Amy’s departure: It IS possible to be sad and happy at the same time!
Hole in the Wall staff and customers are quite sad to see long-time manager Amy Mickelson retire, but we are so very happy for her future as well.
Amy has been an integral part of Hole in the Wall and its daily operations. She has been a wonderful worker and friend to us all. Amy always does things with flair and fashion with the utmost attention to detail. We will miss her undying work ethic and dedication to the shop. She has also shared her family’s talents with the shop. Son, Tim Mickelson, has been our volunteer IT expert and husband, Greg, has helped with numerous projects in and out of the shop, including an entirely donated bathroom renovation. The great news is Amy has assured us she will stay involved with the shop on a volunteer basis and still attend ABC board meetings as a liaison from Hole in the Wall. Quite simply, this gal’s pretty amazing!
While we are sad that she won’t be with us as often, we are happy Amy will now be more free to spend time with her husband Greg, family and her beloved grandchildren, Fiadh and Wesley, as well as those of blood and those of the heart, as she always says! She will continue her extensive travel to places near and far on this big blue marble and do more “glamping” in their lovely camper. Wishing her health and happiness for many years to come. The best is yet to be!
