59 Years, Two People, One College

Chef Scott Anselm

Retirees Scott Anslem and Cindy Hogan will leave the college this month with a combined total of 59 years of service.

Scott has spent the past 27 years as the college's head chef and culinary arts instructor. He is retiring to the wilds of Alaska, where he will join his wife who is already there working for the state.

Scott's only plans so far are to really retire, something that seems a bit unusual here. He is looking forward to fishing, flying his plane, and cooking for his wife, which should be easy enough (wonder if he'll have portion control issues).

College Foundation friends Wayne and Joann Chambers recently established the Scott Anselm Culinary Arts Scholarship Endowment Fund to honor Scott for his years of dedication to students and the Culinary Arts Program. 

Cindy Hogan

With 32 years at the college, Cindy Hogan has been the fix-it queen for so many years in Media Services, it’s going to be hard to think of "who we gonna' call?"

Cindy has spent most of those years in Media Services troubleshooting classroom media equipment issues, bringing in new technologies, and videographing lectures, classes, and events.

Cindy also has earned two associate degrees and several certificates from LBCC, with more than 300 credits under her belt. She started taking classes at the college when she was 18.

Looking to retirement, Cindy hopes to take a trip to Germany in a few years, one of the “to do” things on her bucket list. Also on her list is riding in a hot air balloon. In the meantime, she plans to continue her and her husband’s hobby of restoring old cars, of which she has several in various stages of completion. She also looks forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and family.

Good luck to Scott and Cindy in their retirement. The college culinary world and college media users will miss you!
