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.

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!

It feels like the end of an era - you have contributed so much to ISLI over the years. It's been such a pleasure to have you as a colleague. Best wishes for your new ventures, whatever they may bring!

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.

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]]> 2022-03-18 11:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Siojuan/xix5r11nlndulao6/wish/2101771090 https://padlet.com/Siojuan/xix5r11nlndulao6/wish/2101834096 Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for leaving us a legacy of TEL knowledge and skills. While I'll miss you I'm more looking forward to hearing from you about your idyllic retirement life. 
All the best

Thanks for always being a supportive colleague and all the very best for your future - hope you both have some wonderful trips!

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]]> 2022-03-21 11:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Siojuan/xix5r11nlndulao6/wish/2105087121 https://padlet.com/Siojuan/xix5r11nlndulao6/wish/2105195844 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.
