Thanks and "Take-away" Invitation from Vicki Olson

Thanks for all of the good wishes on my retirement. I'm grateful and touched. Thanks to those who came to our department open house on Monday. I was able to talk with many of you, and I saw many more who I didn't get to greet. Your presence was much appreciated. And extra thanks to those of you who participated in my "take-away", collecting something from my office to lighten my load. The invitation remains through the next couple of weeks to stop by, chat, peruse, and maybe, if you find something, take-away a "treasure". Or just stop by to chat. I'd like that.
