Eulie,
I don't think ANY of Jerry's graduate students would have made it through without your help. I have to chuckle at the fact that during the past year, you knew what I needed help with before I had time to grab some chocolate. I think I can say this for all the bird graduates - we are going to miss you.

P.S. What's that budget number again?... Just kidding. :)

Embarking on new adventures

Eulie, I was really surprised to learn of your impending retirement. I am really happy for you too, because you are embarking on a great new adventure. You will now be able to golf any day of the week you want, not just on Wednesdays; you will be able to take fishing trips any time you want; and you will have far fewer people looking to you to satisfy their chocolate cravings! But probably best of all, you will continue to have many many people who think of you and smile, remembering what a wonderful presence you are in CWE and everywhere else. You really helped make my short stay in CWE a great one.

-Phil Fay

Another shout-out of gratitude!

Those of us who are wet behind the ears in the CWE offices will miss your presence too! I'll attest to you abilty to put newbies at ease with your friendliness, calm under pressures we're not even cognisant of, and knowledge of the inner runnings of the dept., you will be missed, even by those who have only just met you! I've appreciated the help and direction you've offered me in our short overlap of time. Best to you in retirement! I'm excited for you and all that you'll be able to do with your "free" time!
-Andrea B. Crouse (GRA)

Enjoy, Eulie!

As one who "beat you out the door," I'm here to encourage you to enjoy yourself! Retirement is wonderful and I know once you settle in you'll have a wonderful time. Now is your time and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Everyone has been put first, and now, you get to be first for a change! I also want to say how much I have enjoyed working with you over the years. I've always appreciated your insight and problem-solving abilities. Take care and keep in touch!

Congratulations Eulie!

Although we never had the chance to officially work together, I always enjoyed exchanging greetings with you in passing on the stairwell or in the parking lot. You were always in such a positive mood - I think you made everyone's day better. My occasional trips to the 4th Floor will not be the same without you around. Best wishes for an enjoyable retirement!
Kurt

Congratulations!

Eulie,

CWE will not be quite the same without you sitting at the front desk, giving the appearance of relative calm in a maelstrom of due dates and the new financial system. For all of us your jar of chocolate was a welcome site. I greatly appreciate the help you provided over the many years we have had with CWE and hope you enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Congratulations!

Hi Eulie,

It has been a pleasure working with you over the past years. While we have not had overlapping areas, you have helped me "learn the system" whenever I had questions - so very important. I wish you a happy and healthy retirement.

Take care,
Brian Brashaw

Congrats and thanks!

Eulie: I do not know you as well as most, as I am much more tangential, but what always impressed me is that even though I may only come into your office a few times a year, you always knew who I was and made me feel like I belonged. Your professionalism, and steadfast confidence was eveident even in those brief meetings. Thanks for 20 years of service, and I regret that I did not come in the office more often. I know there will be a big void when I next stumble through.

Enjoy!

Mike Rentz

Always another way

Eulie
What I'll miss the most (other than the 3:00 chocolate fix) is your attitude that there are always ways to accomplish any goal - we just have to find them! That is such a lifesaver for those of us who sometimes see only the roadblocks in front of them. I've learned a lot from my interactions with you - thanks!

Congratulations on your retirement; take a well deserved rest!

Pat
