Several of us had the opportunity to attend a farewell lunch for Dr Ed Wilson (to the right of Dr White), who will be moving soon. Dr Wilson taught in the chemistry department for many years before he retired; however, many of you have still seen him around the building because he has still been mentoring research students. Dr Wilson was also one of the founding members of the AR Space Grant Consortium. We sure will miss him when he moves later this month!
We were missing a few because Dr Matlock, Dr Murphy, and Mrs Taylor were all out of town. We were blessed to have a few others join us. Many of you remember Dr Schramm (behind Dr Hatvany and Mrs Huff), who retired a few years ago. Dr Don England (far left, and yes, his name is on the science building) and Dr David Cole (between Dr White and Dr England) are both former chemistry department chairs and also taught for many years before retiring. All four of the retired men were great mentors, teachers, and men of faith, and we've been blessed to know them!
