Gary, while I wish you well in your retirement, I will personally mourn
the loss of your experience, knowledge, good sense, and humor. Have a
wonderful rest-of-your-life! You have certainly earned it after leaving
an indelible mark on our profession.
Like you, I have been around forever

I'm glad you left some time for all of the accolades to fall your way -
you are
so deserved of them.
I've learned so much from you. I've gained so much from your knowledge,
from the Media Resources website, from the stimulating commentaries you've
made. I've giggled at your humour, and
