These are pictures from the reception to honour Wade's retirement, in June 2017. One shows our fearless incoming OMIS Area Coordinator handing Wade a present after his speech. The other photo is a rare shot our our area, with the present (Wade) and incoming (Rick) area coordinators. The third picture really illustrates the friendship between Wade and Rick, and Dezsö (in the background) discussing some important topic with another guest.

Rick, you are a man of few words and a with good built-in BS-detector. Thank you for your long service on various Senate committees and YU task forces on behalf of our Faculty, the steady hand and foresight you have had as our Area Coordinator, and your valuable help as the faculty rep and my consultant on the IS Steering Committee. Most of all, thank you for being a good friend. I hope to see more of you during your retirement!
