Thanks to everyone who signed catalog cards to send best wishes for my retirement. I’m attaching Michael McFarlin’s droll message and the front of the card, as it’s so funny. I had a nice lunch with the Archives and Main Special Collections folks and Valerie. The vegan almond cake at the hotel is to die for. I received some wonderful gifts, among them a framed reproduction of the J.F. Oberlin lithograph.
My last day is July 31 and I will be at Runxiao’s and Alison’s parties, so I hope to see you there to say my goodbyes. Or just stop by up here on the 4th. Although I’m uncomfortable with a large staff party in my honor, I will miss saying goodbye if I don’t get a chance.

Droll and clever—and this explain why Michael spent so long choosing just the right catalog card!
