Maureen Pfeiffer has worked at Kessler Institute For Rehabilitation for 42 years… that’s 2,191 weeks. Monday, July 20, she’ll begin her 2,192 and final one on the job.
I met Pfeiffer “the lifer” 🙂 in 1993, about 6 months after my injury, and we’ve been friends ever since. She’s been a constant positive presence in the outpatient gym for so long, that I can’t imagine what it will be like without her uber bright highlighter pen pink, purple, yellow, blue, etc., matching shirt and sneaker combinations moving forward. What I can imagine however, is how happy she will be babysitting her new granddaughter, continuing her long walks, spending time gardening, and of course with her family.
On behalf of all the patients you worked, pushed, prodded, implored, celebrated, and laughed with over the years, Maureen, I say thank you, we love you, and we wish you nothing but the best in this next chapter of your life!
