Alter Blogger Says Goodbye for Now
( Permalink )
Well, its been a fun ride these past two-and-a-half years. My first post was October 2006! As some of you may know, I have retired from Temple University after 37 years …. eleven at Fox, the other 26 in the now defunct College of HPERD. Working on Alter Hall has certainly been the capstone of my career. However, I am not disappearing entirely. I will be working as a part-time consultant on technology planning for the Fox School, and I expect to make occasional posts to the blog with the help of my our tech crew in Philadelphia. I know we plan to remake the Alter site to focus more on how it operates … what the rooms are like, how to book them, the technology available, etc. Plus, Speakman Hall is being transformed and will soon be home the the School of Tourism and Hospitality and the Statistics and MIS departments. If there are things you would like me to feature, let me know and I will try to accomodate. Thanks for following the blog. I have really enjoyed your participation.

John,
Congratulations once again on your retirement - it is well deserved! I’ll see you in Napa in a few weeks!

“Retirement” is a word we need to banish from our lexicon as a way to describle persons who leave a job of long standing to move to another stage in their lives. I recently read an article that suggested “rewiring” was better than “retiring” … as a tech guy, I like that. I am rewiring in California! Thanks for the good wishes, and I am looking forward to showing you a little of Napa.
