It's a new millennium, and I am acutely aware of changes occurring all around me. Some are good, some not so good, and some are both.
People retiring from successful careers to have more time to enjoy life, is a good thing.
When the person retiring has been a mentor and constant star in your constellation, the change feels bad. I have mixed feelings about this. She is taking off on the next big adventure in her life. When I think of her leaving us on our own, I become incredibly upset about this change. Annie, I know I speak for all of the Outreach staff, TCB staff, and the educators and families you have served, when I wish you the very best in your next phase.
