Dear Jonathan, I'm so sorry both you and Claire are leaving us. You have been such wonderful support in our short courses over the years and so supportive with all things techie. Thank you so much for your patience and support with my PSE involvement. It has been so reassuring to know your help was there when needed. I wish you both health and every happiness. Sharon

Dear Jonathan,
Wishing you a happy, long and adventure-filled retirement. You'll be missed in ISLI, keep in touch,

ISLI won't be the same without you - you've been involved in so many aspects of what's happened over the years - the EAS books, MOOCs, pre-sessional, in-sessional, the whole development of TEL - to name just some of the them.  We shall really miss your presence and your huge commitment and dedication to ISLI, the students and colleagues.  But I have no doubt that there will be more new ventures ahead and hope that we will get to hear about them - maybe they'll even include those spelling materials!

What hasn't already been said? Have a fabulous time without the stresses of work and enjoy having more time for music and travel (visit this fountain in Palermo perhaps). Thank you for your support over the years.
Best wishes,

You have been everything to ISLI and before that CALS that Emma G has expressed so well, and some! You have been a cornerstone and will be greatly missed. But the time has come to look forwards and I wish you and Claire all the best. Don't forget I am a neighbour and would love to meet up from time to time. Keep in touch! X Margaret

Dear Jonathan,
it has been a real pleasure working with you, learning from you and having so many good conversations in the staff room. You have always been very generous, thank you. Enjoy your retirement and this new chapter. I do hope there will be opportunities to stay in touch.

Dear Jonathan,

I remember first meeting you on the 2004 summer Pre-sessional, and your kindness and encouragement to me at that time. I have so enjoyed and appreciated working with you, and you have given so much to ISLI and the university. Your input to the Pre-sessional Listening and Speaking courses has been invaluable, and you have been pivotal in so many of the technological developments. You are kind, imaginative, encouraging and hugely devoted to your work. You and Claire deserve a truly fulfilling, healthy and refreshing retirement.

With warmest wishes,
Emma G

Really sorry to hear you are leaving but I'm sure you'll be making the most of your new-found freedom.. Thank you for all your help with the technical side of work-life. You have a real knack for putting the technical in a way the rest of us can follow! Good luck!

You have been such a great help and advisor over the years. I've really enjoyed the times we worked together and the chats we've had about tech, Xerte and other topics. I hope the next phase in your life is full of adventure, excitement and relaxation.
All my very best,
Sean

It's been lovely working with you, Jonathan; I've enjoyed liaising re TEL - our coffees & catch-ups! You've left some big shoes to fill! I'll do my best, along with Takeshi, to keep flying the flag for Xerte to continue your excellent work!
Wishing you & Claire all the very best with your next adventures!
Goditi i tuoi viaggi!

Very sad that you and Claire are leaving ISLI; I have really enjoyed working with you both, and when I think back to standardisation sessions during PSEs nearly 10 years ago when I was new to EAP and not very confident (I just got a shock whilst writing this when I realised that's how long it's been since I started!), I remember really clearly learning a lot from various comments you made in those meetings - about marking writing in particular. Thanks for always being a supportive colleague and all the very best for your future - hope you both have some wonderful trips!

All the best

Dear Jonathan,

Wishing you a long and happy retirement, with many holidays in Italy !  You've worked hard at ISLI for many years in your different roles, and contributed to its development. Now it's your turn to enjoy life to the full !!
Warmest wishes, Anne Pallant

I was very sad to hear you are leaving especially as we've had a closer working (and personal, I think) relationship in the passed few years - ironically so as, well, you know, the whole world events thing. I expect this to continue though and I still intend to emulate your speech on Claire's big birthday years ago on the corresponding event for my beloved wife. See you!

Caro Jonathan!
Buon viaggio (o viaggi) and thank you for your support and patience over the past years:)
Vienici a trovare!

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for the support you and Claire have given me since I arrived in Reading. I appreciate the time you've taken to offer advice and show me the ISLI ropes! I hope that you and Claire are now able to have a very well deserved break and wish you all the very best for the next chapter and all its adventures!

Hello Jonathan,
I've just been remembering your first joining CALS, as it was back in the day. You  have worked through some very significant developments in the growth of ISLI since  then. Your contribution to the study of academic listening and your invaluable work in the development of IT over the years will be a hard act to follow. I hope you and Claire will enjoy a very happy retirement in whatever adventures you hope to pursue in the future.
