And mine too.  I'll bet if all of the people whose training Kerry had a major role in came forward it would sound like "Mr. Holland's Opus" (a 1995 movie that we "old" people may remember :-) )

Good luck in your "retirement", Kerry, and I hope that your future is everything that you want it to be.

Marty

Dear friends, colleagues, peers;

First of all - if you are saying "Kerry who??" - my apologies for cluttering your inbox.  However, over the years I have met and enjoyed working with so many members of PIUG that I thought a broadly distributed email would be ok.

My surprise announcement for the day.  Well maybe not that much of a surprise to some.

Effective July 1 this year I plan on retiring from CAS.  While I have no real particular post-retirement plans I do not plan on becoming a coach potato.  Since Rita's fight with MS shows no signs of abating this will provide more time for care and to take advantage of the "better days".  Rita and I do plan on trying to make the trip to our kids/grandkids a few more times each year.  Obviously significant travel plans are not in the picture, although I hope to get out locally for hiking and kayaking, and plan to get back to a more consistent running regimen.  We do have an Outer Banks vacation planned in June with the family.  I may also explore volunteering with the local Habitat for Humanity organization.  I will still stay involved in the patent searching world to some degree working with Science IP in a part-time, part-time basis!!

It has been a great 3+ years with Science IP and 14 years total with CAS preceded by 22 years as a chemist and information scientist in the pharmaceutical industry.  I've learned alot, enjoyed working with great people, and had the opportunity to travel and meet many knowledgeable and exciting folks in the searcher/patent world.  I am especially appreciative of the opportunities, support and friendship provided me by all members of the PIUG and its present and past officers.  Thank you all.

While the CAS email address may still be alive and well, my personal email and home phone number is:

kstanley44  @  verizon.net  ((to use email address, copy and remove spaces from either side of "@")

610-584-4695 (home)

Take care,

Kerry
