"The Philmont Squeeze"

Today was all staff training. All 1,120 staff members, seasonal and full time, gathered on the lawn of the Villa Philmonte dressed in our matching green uniforms to be part of one entirely too crowded photo, this event has rightfully adopted the nickname "The Philmont Squeeze". After the Philmont Squeeze all staffers are addressed by the ranches managers and recognized by the manager of their respective department. This photo is of Cassidy, the assistant director of News and Photo Services, my boss, on her way to the stage to recognize our department. Cassidy has been working at Philmont for something like 6 years now and she runs NPS with so much enthusiasm and love for this place.
