Mom's Retirement

So, I'm behind.  This was 3 weeks ago!  No worries, I'm just going to bombard the blog with lots of pictures over the next few days, starting with these.  Mom decided to retire after (I think) 36 years!  We've been waiting for this moment for what seems like forever, and we are so thrilled that it has finally happened.  To commemorate the occasion, Katie and I (but mostly Katie) rounded up some old and current colleagues, friends, parents, and students to write letters and send pictures of their time with Mom.  Then Katie, spent countless hours putting it into a scrapbook of memories for her.  We also surprised her with a family trip to beach in July.  We celebrated it all with a small group at dinner.  Congratulations Mom!
