Comme tu es un des meilleurs profs de l'univers, je serai toujours reconnaissante pour l'experience d'enseigner avec toi à Vintage. Il n'y a personne qui puisse te remplacer! I will always be grateful for you as my greatest mentor in teaching French. Wishing you the very best as you begin your adventures outside the everyday classroom!!
Bonne continuation!

It has been a pleasure to work with you for so many years. I enjoyed our meetings at the mail boxes, my occasional drop-ins to your classroom, you putting up with my poor use of French. I'll miss you and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I will miss your daily "hello's" and your kindness that you always expressed in coming through the office. Take care of yourself and HAPPY RETIREMENT! I have a feeling though that we will be seeing you around...Loretta

You have been such a leader on our campus. Thank you for teaching me so much about technology---I still use much of what you taught me years ago! I will miss hearing your wise and strong voice in our faculty meetings. I am wishing you a peaceful and fulfilling retirement! With affection, Jenny LaMonte

Best wishes Don on your retirement! It has been a pleasure working with you, and hearing you pronounce my name 'the European' way. Thank you for making VHS a wonderful place to work. Fondly, Lotte

We didn't get to work together for very long, but I really admire your thoughtful contributions to faculty meetings and your obvious dedication to your students. Congratulations!!! Enjoy your retirement!

Hey Don, It sounds to me like you have got the right idea about retirement--you are not really slowing down, you are just going to focus on the aspects of life that most interest you. I know you will keep busy because I know many things interest you. Have the best time of your life. Sincerely, Jim Sittler

It's been wonderful knowing and working with you! Graduating Clayton Valley High School together with you and now graduating Vintage High School together. Funny how things simply end up! Thank you again for your support and traveling with the Instrumental kids to Montreal! I knew I asked the right guy to help out and translate all the French conversations we had. Plus all your historical input that you shared with the kids! They are still talking about that trip!
Thanks again for here!
Sincerely,
Bill Gantt

I admire your willingness to continue to learn and refine your craft. You are excellent example of what it means to be a teacher leader. You have served the teachers in your department with grace and guidance both professionally and personally. I wish you all the best.

Blessings to you.
