To a man who managed to do so little, yet take credit for so much, we offer our profoundest gratitude. For twenty long years, your complete absence of visible effort has reminded us that work is, indeed, optional. We have watched you occupy an office chair with a dedication bordering on the heroic. As you enter retirement, may your days be filled with the leisure you have so richly earned, and may retirement prove as agreeable to you as your employment proved to the rest of us. Raise your glass. Your greatest contribution may yet be leaving.
