Dear Dave,
Wow, retiring, I can’t believe it’s finally here. We’ve worked together a while now, 20 years, and it’s been quite the journey. From the ‘early days’ when we had time to happy hour with colleagues to sharing family stories and work challenges and joys. When our team was short-staffed you never hesitated to pitch in to help. I will always be grateful for your time and dedication to our students. You easily could have said “not my job” but you rolled up your sleeves and helped us care for our students too. You are one of the most genuine people I know. Your warmth, your kindness, your concern, your compassion, that’s all wrapped up in you Dave. I enjoyed our carpooling time together to catch up on life when we’d work late and the busses had stopped running. Your students were lucky to have you advocating for them all these wonderful years. I wish you all the very best as you proceed onto the next chapter of this amazing journey in your life. Please do keep in touch.~ Crystal
