Today was a sad day in the Extension Office as we said goodbye to our Office Administrator, Susan Bone Tebbe, who is starting an exciting new chapter in the Rush County Recorders Office.

We are so grateful to Susan for her years of hard work, dedication to Extension and Purdue, and the positivity she has brought to our office. She will definitely be missed around here, but we are so excited for her and wish her nothing but the best in her new job!

Congratulations, Susan. We’re going to miss you! 🥰
