To whom it may concern,

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for one of my former employees; Mr. Joshua Hughes. I am a Park Ranger with the state of Maryland and have known Joshua Hughes for two years. He began working for me as a Seasonal Tollbooth Attendant at Point Lookout State Park, located in Scotland, Maryland in the spring of 2014. Josh’s duties included cash handling, credit card transactions, and public relations, providing tourist information, traffic control and departmental radio usage among other responsibilities. He demonstrated a strong work ethic; his attendance was exceptional and is job performance was constantly improving. In the spring of 2015 Josh was rehired as a Tollbooth Attendant and began cross training for the Camp Office. His duties at the Camp Office included customer service; checking campers in, registering campground visitors, monitoring campground security and safety issues, trouble shooting and problem solving, departmental radio usage; radio dispatch, concession sales, firewood sales and providing detailed explanations of campground rules and regulations. Josh once again stepped up to his new duties with enthusiasm and curiosity. He displayed an honest interest in the operational aspects of the Camp Office and became an intricate part of the Camp Office team. Mr. Hughes has proven to me to be asset to the Park. I would recommend him for any position that he aspires for.

Sincerely,

Ranger J. Christine BridgesRocky Gap State Park12900 Lakeshore DriveFlintstone, Maryland 21530301-722-1480
