Two Friday's ago (the 28th), my dad retired from the Penn State University Libraries after 35 years. They had a big celebration at his work Friday morning. Mike and I were originally not going to be able to make it because of work, but last minute I got the day off and drove down the morning of to surprise them! It was a good one and I was really glad that it worked out. Unfortunately Mike still had to work, but he was a good sport about letting me go without him.
It was a nice reception, even the president of the university made an appearance. My brother and family was also there - it was a real special time. Congratulations Dad! We're so proud of you!
They put this fun poster together of some pictures of my dad.
Here is my mom and I talking with Graham Spanier.
They had made a slide show of all these historic pictures from Penn State and put my dad's face in every picture. Here he is protesting - his head is peeking around the poster on the left :)
Here are some more links to other pictures and also bios written about my dad and his time with the libraries.
