ll be busier than ever and wonder where the time goes.

  Dear friends, colleagues, peers;

  First of all - if you are saying "Kerry who??" - my apologies for clutter=
ing your inbox. However, over the years I have met and enjoyed working wit=
h 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 surp=
rise 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 pot=
ato. Since Rita's fight with MS shows no signs of abating this will provid=
e 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, alt=
hough I hope to get out locally for hiking and kayaking, and plan to get ba=
ck to a more consistent running regimen. We do have an Outer Banks vacatio=
n planned in June with the family. I may also explore volunteering with th=
e local Habitat for Humanity organization. I will still stay involved in t=
he 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 pharmace=
utical industry. I've learned alot, enjoyed working with great people, and=
 had the opportunity to travel and meet many knowledgeable and exciting fol=
ks in the searcher/patent world. I am especially appreciative of the oppor=
tunities, 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 emai=
l and home phone number is:

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

  610-584-4695 (home)

  Take care,

  Kerry
