Unfortunately, Dristin Rose has hung his hat as TA at ZKC to advance his education and dedicate more time to his new promotion at work. Collectively, he's been a staff member at Kansas City for over two years. During that time, I've developed a deep respect and appreciation of his knowledge of procedures, commitment to students and even his upbeat personality that forced me to be happy when sometimes I just really wanted to grump. Although I certainly understand his "partial retirement", his presence as TA and instructor will be sorely missed. I sincerely thank him for all he has done for us, our students and the VATUSA community in general.
BUT... don't fear! Kyle Kaestner has been selected to step up and assume the TA job. I've worked with Kyle awhile now in his most recent role as Events Coordinator, and am confident he'll pick up where Dristin left off. I'd like to thank Kyle for his assistance and dedication, and look forward to a bright future for ZKC training.
