<p class="MsoNormal">As most of you know, today will be my last day with the university. It was a long and interesting 27.5 years and most of it was spent with the physics staff and students. I learned quite a few things in my journey through the university.
Thank you for all your hard work and help to me (especially the techie people). Please make sure (if you can) to join me this afternoon at 2:00 for cake in the conference room. Look forward to seeing all of you there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And again, a special thanks to the girls (you know who you are). I will make sure to keep in touch.<o:p></o:p></p>
