Dave,
Oh my gosh, you’re retiring! So exciting! I wish you the very best in this new phase of your life. I hope it brings you great happiness. I have so many wonderful memories from working with you and many more from our friendship. Game nights (with the microwave timer), concerts with Em (circling parking lots to find a space where your beemer was less likely to get scratched, getting locked out of that garage that one time. Still so funny to me!), talking music, paying too much for a CD at a Hub concert, lunches with our work crew, bowling! Like Em said, you’re one of my all time favorite people, too.
When working with Team Dave and Lindsay (so many good memories from that time period), I saw firsthand how much the PMP students liked working with you and valued your support. You are a great advisor who directly contributed to making their experience so positive. I was always so impressed with how thoughtful you were about how best to serve our students and show that they mattered to our department. I know you’ll be missed very much!
I hope we can keep in touch. It would be great to see you once seeing people is a thing again. Take good care and happy retirement!
Megan
