Thank you Eulie

Eulie - Thanking you for all your efforts over the years is a true understatement. I could not have completed my job without all of your help. I cannot think of a more dedicated person - you were there at work before 8:00 am and so often you were still there after 5:00 pm. Thank you ever so much. I also appreciate all of the help you gave my graduate students over the years. You were always the friendly face in the office and the person they could rely upon to answer their questions .. and by the way many of my own questions. I even recall one time when you really went out of your way to drop off tennis shoes for Jarad when he forgot them and both Bonnie and I were busy. Of course, then there were the many times that you participated in our Crew Meadows ornithology field trips and drove many of the students down there early in the morning - though as I recall you really enjoyed those trips. Those field trips were the highlight for many biology students.

It is hard to believe how fast the past 20 + years have gone. From the perspective of research, we accomplished a lot with millions of research dollars spent, hundreds of research papers published, and presentations given. Most importantly, we have made a difference in improving environmental decision-making and tremendously increased our understanding of Minnesota's natural resources. Eulie - you were a major link and contributor to those accomplishments - we could not have done it without you. Again thank you and keep in touch. Jerry
