Wait.

What?

Did I know this? Did I block it out?

I... wait... no.

Will miss you OD! I've been checking in here for about 1/2 a decade and I'm pretty sure you've been here the whole time. You will be greatly missed. Catch you and SP on FB!

Congratulations!!!! You will be missed. There was a time last year, when I had a really difficult experience with a student, your words of wisdom and support really helped me to process what happened. Thank you for you!

I’m not a regular poster but am a “regular” (you don’t see me, but I’m here every day) and often use ? for advice. OldDude, you’ve left your mark on this board with your wisdom and humor. Thank you!

You have worked hard and served your students well!! Wishing you all the best in the next phase of your life...you’ve earned it!
