It was truly my last day (of 11 years on the job) and so I constructed a message for my successor which was recorded by Kate as she was working on things unknown to me including these cookies showing various images related to my time as dean

as glasses were being prepared along with the more traditional orange and black cookies which members of my staff observed as Chris greeted Suzanne and a group of Nassau Hall people waited as did Mary and Valerie for my surprised arrival as Chris led the toasts followed by Sandy Johnson who presented me with a book of memories

and Dave Lee who brought forth first a picture I had taken of colleagues who were taking these pictures of me. Nest, Ann Halliday presented me with this rain gear lined with pennies as I admired the foods and enjoyed my book as others applauded and enjoyed the food before Bob Durkee and Cynthia Cherrey came to chat and Suzanne and I posed together.

In parallel with Kate, I had taken these pictures of my greeting for Debbie and these photos of Suzanne and me were taken.
