During its first ever celebration of staff anniversaries since USMC bought Seattle Orthopedic Group in Oct. 2001, the company now called Seattle Systems Inc. honored four employees for two decades or more of work.

Honored were Jaimie Trabilicy, Lisa Dreher, Phil Pitts and Dave Hensley.

Trabilicy, who works at the Poulsbo plant, began working for USMC-Pasadena, Calif., in 1964. Dreher, who is in customer service, began working in Corona, Calif., in 1977 and is where she has chosen to remain for 25 years.

Pitts, of the model and tool room department, now works in Poulsbo, but hired on with USMC-Pasadena, in 1978. Hensley, of the marketing department, owned his own prosthetics/practitioner business. He now works at the Poulsbo plant.

Each received a new gold watch to commemorate their time with the company.
