We'll miss you!

# data[].attributes.headline
Lieber John, dass wir beide, im gleichen Moment, die Entscheidung getroffen haben, in Ruhestand zu gehen, kann kein Zufall sein. Nach Jahrzehnten fühlen wir uns wie erschöpfte Ochsen, die sich vom schweren Joch befreien müssen. Ohne diese Last wird der Weg unseres wöchentlichen Spaziergangs angenehmer sein, indem wir ohne Sorgen durch den Lebensabend gemeinsam hinauslaufen können. Viel Freude und Vergnügen wünscht Dir Dein Freund Louis

I'll miss exchanging greetings  "guten Morgen (the only German I know)" and "Ohayoo gozaimasu" with you in the hallway! Enjoy your time and come see us sometime!

Congratulations on having arrived at this happy day!  And to think that one of your final accomplishments was mastering Zoom.  An incredible last year indeed!  Enjoy all of your leisure time and keep telling those great jokes.

Although I never had the pleasure of taking one of your German classes as a student, it has been a true pleasure to get to know you in the context of fellowships advising over the past few years. I may have to share some of your best anecdotes with our future Fulbright candidates... The reactions are too good! I hope that you are able to enjoy all the Nobel Prize-winning literature and film noir that you can handle in your retirement! With every good wish, Erin

Wow John, just think, from Young Goodman Brown to teaching online with Zoom...what a difference 20 years makes, n'est-ce pas? If you ever want to explore new places to walk the dogs just let us know!  Félicitations and have fun doing whatever you want, when you want!

Happy retirement to you, Dr. Pettey! The office will not be the same without you and neither will my days there. May your every step on this new retirement camino lead you beyond good and evil and toward that magic mountain of bliss.

Much love,
Jodie

Dear John,
I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to survive the WLL office without you around. Thank you for the  morning visits, honesty, sarcasm, and jokes. I wish you a never-ending supply of good films. If you ever need to share an off-color joke or to complain about how soft the lefties have become, I'm around. May you enjoy the peace of not having to re-explain the syllabus/assignment/directions to another undergrad for years to come!

All best wishes,
Erica

Wow, it's finally happening!  As Pedro said, we've been around for "sooo many years" and it's nice to be able to start a new chapter!  Hasta,

You were the FIRST person who told me that Mo Yan won the Nobel Literature that year! I will always remember that:)  Enjoy your retirement!

Dear John,

Well, I suppose that now I’ll finally be able to get some work done without your constant pestering!  Okay, that’s not something I’m looking forward to.  I never needed a morning coffee with you around and now I’ll have to embrace that ridiculous Starbucks large or grande or whatever cutsie name they gave it.  So, yes, I’m going to miss you.  Will you send me occasional emails?  How about a cup of something to celebrate soon?

Dein Freund,
Michelle

John...I enjoyed your political jokes, sarcastic jabs, your dry humor, and hearing you yell German commands to your students through my office wall four days a week. I'll call you when I need a fix.  See you around...outside of the office! Cassie

Dear John,

Although I know that you will absolutely enjoy your retirement, I am a bit sad because I will so miss our interactions and the many serendipitous conversations we had in the halls of Cain. You were one of my first friends at UNR and I feel grateful that this was the case. You were always willing to listen and to provide advice and to commiserate with me about all sorts of issues. It was such a relief to feel I could trust someone to just listen without an agenda or any interest other than to be there for me.

We must share a drink of your choice soon, to celebrate!

Un abrazo muy fuerte,

Tania
