Hildie interviewed 40 years ago on August 11^th with June Danner, Manager. June instantly saw that Hildie would make the perfect addition to the ABA Family and so Hildie was hired on the spot. How little did we know way back then that Hildie would be a huge anchor for ABA for 40 years – and still going and going and going.

Hildie started as a Telephone Service Receptionist (TSR) but after only a year was advanced to billing and collections where she was a super star. After doing that job for a few years, she moved and took her family with her to the Houston office where she managed 7 years. Missing family and friends because of the long-distance commute, she transferred back to the Dallas-Plano office where she trained, supervised and always did customer service. After several years with a fabulously trained operations staff, ABA moved to Plano and Hildie took over Managing not only Customer Service (her first love) but also took on Billing. These jobs have kept her busy, challenged, and doing a marvelous job. We were proud of her when she began, we remain proud of her now and we will always be proud of Hildie and all her wonderful achievements.

Hildie came to us as her first job and until now, her only job. Isn’t ABA the lucky and blessed one? Hildie was single when hired, then married, had 2 wonderful children, was widowed and now has 5 lovely grandkids – all the while working full time. We wish Hildie "Big Congratulations" on a highly successful career, family and friends and many, many more happy years and joyful memories! God Bless you Hildie as you have been a blessing to so very many other lives.
