For fatigued faculty, family, friends, and fish, Fletcher finally finished.

Fletcher - congratulations. I am very proud of you. Thank you for allowing me to be your PhD advisor for several years. Now we are equals because PhD=PhD; it is time for me to stop intimidating you! Not only did you complete your PhD, but you also published your work. That is a super big deal. Keep up the great work, but with less pressure from me.

Way to finish off that marathon of sorts! Now you have more time for the "fun" marathons. And other fine things in life, like making fancy cocktails, hiking with Lori, playing with your cats, and drumming up crazy Halloween costumes!

What a great accomplishment! You are an inspiration to me. Thanks for paving the road & all the insight you give me to follow in your footsteps.

I wish I had some cool picture to add to this, but none the less congratulations!  You have done an amazing job and I know you've worked really hard to get to this point!  Now relax and enjoy!

I learned this week that Fletcher means: a person who makes and sells arrows so I thought this was appropriate:  Smiles, timi

Congratulations and salutations to you, Dr. Sewall from your old pal Gen. Who could’ve imagined all those years ago, as we sat snickering at the vagaries and absurdities of the human condition over room temperature tater tots and Steve’s cheese sandwich, that one of us would someday attain the highest order of academic scholarship and actually work to make the world A BETTER PLACE. Actually, I did. I knew it all along. Well done, Fletcher! Proud of you, dude! Much love to you and Lori and enjoy the celebrations! Wish I were there to toast your achievement.
Love, Genevieve

You did it! I admire your persistence through thick and thin, through Covid and health, for better or worse, through richer and poorer - presumably richer now. Patting you on the back from six feet away and a mask on. Proud of you. A huge accomplishment. Congrats, Fletcher!

Take an eager diligent youngster in Norwich, (other side of the world.)  Add what? a decade and a half, or more, (take away a hairline), add a PhD, season well with congratulations, a LOT of very well deserved congratulations,  and best wishes for the next chapter of this story, and what do you get? Dr. Fletcher Sewall.  So many miles and so much achieved. All the best, stan
