[SML] retirement

[Garry Brown]

Dear All,

   I'm happy to report that, as of yesterday, I am retired from the 
University of Louisville Theatre Arts department after some 28 years, 
not much longer than I've been (quietly) following this group as well as 
the usenet version way back when. What I have gained from this group 
over the years is immeasurable as well as quite entertaining. At some 
point I started requiring my stagecraft students to follow and report on 
topics just so they could be exposed to what was happening in the 
theatre world beyond the campus. Sample question from a few years ago: 
who is this Frank Wood and why do people talk so much about him?

   I bring this to your attention because there will be a job posting 
and search for my replacement coming in the next month or so. This 
program is moving in new directions with a young and energetic faculty 
after retirements in the last 6 years (I am the last of the old farts) 
and I am hopeful that the program will continue to grow and prosper.

   I've met only a few members but I have felt that I know so many, like 
regulars in the bar. Thanks for all the good technical information and 
more so the great conversations.
