And maybe just a bit safer. But hundreds of students and scholars treasure their time with you. Noriko will miss you popping by our apartment with 30 folks on a bike trip.

I've got 12 years of pics on my phone from you. Some I can actually share.

Thank you so much for all the support, coaching, and laughs over the past 12 years! Who would have thought when we first met in person in Atlanta that we'd be close colleagues and friends for over a decade?! From conferences and receptions ranging from Boston to Honolulu, to the Regional and ISSO Teams, to our pups hanging out together in the office, there have been so many fun memories. You really helped to kickstart my career, and have been a continuous supporter since then; I will forever be grateful to you for that! Wishing you many fun and relaxing years filled with family and friends, good beer, good dogs, and many more adventures.

Cheers!

Travis (and Ace and the rest of the fam)

But I want to thank you for all the times you so enthusiastically volunteered for our events: Fall Celebration on the Quad...passing mics and trivia prizes at Grad Slam and Postdoc Slam...fashioning an "ice cream" sign to lead postdocs to our rooftop ice cream social.

You’re one in a million, dear Kevin.  It was so fun having you in SFS regularly including Pickle and your bicycle.  And it was always so obvious when students came to the office looking for you, how much respect they had for you and how much comfort and support you provided them.  You’ll be so missed by so many of us. Congratulations on your retirement and love and respect to you always, my friend.  Jerry and the SFS Team!
