Happy Retirement, Alan
Transcript: Alan, You have done many amazing things for the school and the math department! It would have been great to think we could have had you around longer for advice and wisdom, but it is time to face facts and realize that all teachers must continue to grow themselves and not only help others but enrich themselves in new ways. I hope that retirement is a wonderful tool to lead you in exciting new directions. We will miss you!
