The holiday break is a time to pause and gather with family and friends, a time for reflection, a time for rest. But the Fred Hutch campus is not really at rest. A few hearty souls are at work. Mostly out of sight — you’d miss them if you weren’t looking closely, but they are here keeping buildings secure, seeing patients, and pushing through experiments that can’t wait.
We spent Christmas Eve with co-workers who toiled while most of us rested. Not one of them complained. Some thought of the day as just another Saturday, but it’s easy to see that the holidays are a little brighter because of their labors.
