Redskins v Cowboys Tailgate Party Theme

(BRANDYWINE, Md.) – Data Solutions & Technology Incorporated’s Lynette Jones hosted NBC Washington chief meteorologist Doug Kammerer at her backyard barbeque on Friday, August 5, 2011.  The theme for the event was Washington Redskins versus the Dallas Cowboys. Lynette and many of her DST family, including President and CEO Deborah Scott Thomas, enjoyed a scrumptious feast while Doug forecasted the weekend weather for News4 viewers. 

“The backyard party was canceled twice due to inclement weather, one a torrential downpour and the other a heat wave with a heat index over 110,” stated Lynette Jones.  “However, the third time was the charm and we had a blast with Doug and his NBC4 team!  I am so pleased that my family, friends and co-workers could accommodate the new date because the weather could not have been better for the backyard barbeque.”

The barbeque extravaganza can be seen on the Internet.

“The DST family is a very supportive team and we spend time with one another away from the office,” said President and CEO Deborah Scott Thomas.  “Lynette has been with DST since 2006 and she brings apositive attitude to work with her every day. She and her husband Isaac are the ultimate hosts and truly show you what it is like to receive southern hospitality.”

During the backyard celebration the following veterans were acknowledged:

• Deborah Scott Thomas, retired Colonel, U.S. Air Force Reserve
• Oatice Thomas, service disabled veteran, U.S. Air Force
• Isaac Jones Jr., retired Gunnery Sergeant, U.S. Marines
• Anthony Giles, retired Captain, U.S. Navy
• Vincent Hill, retired Master Sergeant, U.S. Air Force
• Melvin Mitchell, retired Major, U.S. Army
• Kenneth Tolson, former officer, U.S. Marines Reserve

“The Jones’ backyard barbeque was a fabulous way for us to fellowship after a productive work week,” said Operations & Technology Incorporated President and CEO Oatice Thomas. “The multiple specialty tents were outstanding, especially the crab tent where News4 chief meteorologist Doug gave special attention to while forecasting the weekend weather.”
