I'd like to thank everyone who came to my retirement party Dec. 8. I'd especially like to thank some of my co-workers from eight years ago in Graduate Program Services — Pat Bordignon, Pat Dawkins, Johanne Dupont, Vi Walker and Judith Kerr, with whom I worked for more than 25 years — for coming to my party. Good friends are true friends.
Thanks, too, to the former Independent Study staff for hosting the party, to the Office of Open Learning staff I worked with directly in the past year, and to all those who couldn't make it to the party but sent cards, gifts and flowers. To everyone, thank you for the beautiful gifts.
I would also like to thank those who sent flowers and cards during my illness in January. Your thoughtfulness and kindness will never be forgotten.
