Dear Eulie,

All the best in your retirement! I don't get up Duluth-way often enough these days, but, whenever I think of NRRI, you're always present in the picture. What a big change this will be! Thanks for all the help you gave me and taking interest in my life all those years ago when I was a wee-young master's student. You will be missed!

Ten thousand flowers in spring
the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer,
snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
— Wu-men

Don't you stay at home of evenings?
Don't you love a cushioned seat
In a corner, by the fireside, with your slippers on your feet?
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
— Irish Retirement Blessing

Eulie,

I must re-iterate some of the above/below sentiment: Now what am I going to do? Who will be my companion on my budget number journey through the Netherworlds?

Most important, did we mention "patience"? Your heroic effort dealing with pesky 'ol GIS lab billing, etc. will be forever recorded in the "Patient Leaders of The Last Two Decades" (2nd revision) report currently under review.

Good luck in retirement. You will be missed.

Eulie:

I can't even imagine NRRI without your smiling face! We both arrived here in 1988 to begin our journey. The 4th floor was a vast, mostly empty space. Remember the CPT computer system with it's huge dual-floppy drives?? ARGH..... Well, you are on your way to another journey, into retirement. Please know that you WILL be missed, and how much we all appreciated working with you! Enjoy your new ventures, and come back to visit us now and again!
