Danny Fresco has worked with Call Sign since
June 1997 - the same month that editor Alan Fisher took over
from previous incumbent, Jery Craig. Danny may not be as well known as his Taxi columnist dad Al, but that’s how he likes it. However, his layout designs have helped Call Sign reach tremendous heights for an in-house magazine. Sadly, on Sunday 9 August 2009, Danny’s mum, Al’s wife and Ed’s wife Linda’s closest friend, Carole Fresco passed away in Barts Hospital, just six weeks and three days after being diagnosed with breast cancer. The diagnosis came on Linda’s birthday and means we can never forget her. |

He ran down Piccadilly, through St James's to Trafalgar Square, out along Victoria Embankment, then back along the river to Westminster Bridge and Parliament Square before running into Whitehall and finishing at the Cenotaph. Danny completed the course in just over 55 minutes. Anyone wanting to add to his sponsorship total can do so on Danny’s charity page at: www.justgiving.com/Danny-fresco. | |

Goodbye Joyce! |
||
 Joyce with team leader Emma and Keith Cain at her retirement party |
on the Night shift. Then, and
having been with the Society for less than four months, Joyce
was promoted to Assistant Night Shift Supervisor – no doubt her
BT experience helping her with such a quick promotion.
Some time later and for personal reasons,
Joyce returned to the role of CSR - this time on the Evening
shift. She remained in that position and shift up until her
retirement, when the BoM threw a small party for Joyce as a
thank-you and also presented her with a bouquet for her
excellent service to the Society. Joyce’s 80-year old mother lives with her and she intends that the pair should spend some more time together. "There are no plans," she said, "I’m going to take it one day at a time. But I am looking forward to taking life a bit easier." Good luck Joyce... |

Friday 30 July
was both a happy and sad occasion for Dial-a-Cab call
taker Joyce Jarvis. At "59 and a bit" she had decided
that the time had come to hang up her headset and sample the
joys of retirement! Joyce arrived at Brunswick House in July 1996, having just been made redundant by BT. Speaking to Call Sign at her retirement party, Joyce told us: "I will never forget how DaC |
gave me the opportunity at a
very low period in my life of becoming employed again. Being
made redundant at 44 is soul-destroying, but DaC took me on.
Whilst I’m looking forward to retirement, I also have some
sadness at leaving behind so many friends that I’ve made over
the years. DaC are lovely people to work for and the staff are
equally as nice." Her first position was that of Customer Service Representative |
