Retirement Parties

 I am going to a retirement party today for Joyce Penny, athletics!  Worked in ticket office for 32 years and ran concessions!  She will be missed; they have no idea how she will be missed!  That's what Susan Burton said about me, "I never knew how much I was going to miss you!"

I try never to miss a retirement party!  I want to say thank u in person!  The university runs on persons implementing programs!   It runs on the people who will go the second and third mile and never bitch about it.  Enjoy it, Joyce, you have earned it!

I remember my retirement party!  My friends came and my family came! Warren came and announced to the crowd that he called me Dirty Neck.  So many people still remember that who had never met him.  I love him for making that effort.   He was too sick to come but, in spite of our bad words to each other, we were a mutual admiration society!    And I love Ron Hahs for going to the President and demanding that I be hired for another year part-time.   He is pictured reading the citation.

I love retirement!
