effective June 30. Over the years, you all have been a bedrock of knowledge (never mind that sometimes ‘rocks’ get thrown at me)! Seriously, you are the conscience and integrity on behalf of Oklahoma higher education and I have enjoyed almost every minute
I have spent with you all over the years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Affairs). In this capacity, I will likely attend some part of the OACRAO fall conference. My new contact information will be (405) 521-3808 or
