Tom Forsythe is counting down to retirement and enjoying his honor as Penn Valley employee of the month.

After more than three decades of service, Tom Forsythe is set to retire. But before he walks out the door, his peers decided to honor him by nominating him for employee of the month for May.

Phillips describes Forsythe as an intelligent and caring. "He makes you feel appreciated, whether it be as a co-worker or a student. He takes a real interest in what is going on in your life and goes out of his way to treat everyone he comes in contact with in the library as a friend."
