Hey Carol,
Always try to keep up with you, but sometimes find it hard to do. (smile) Congratulations on your many jobs that you have done so well. Now you are off to a newer position, nothing that you have not already donw, but long time ago. So, again congratulations on this new assignment. You have so much to offer the young women and men at the college. Now you will be able to visit your Alma Mater more often. Have a wonderful holiday. Love to the children. Proud of you.
