[PIUG List] Kerry is retiring

Dear friends, colleagues, peers;

First of all - if you are saying "Kerry who??" - my apologies for clutterin=
g 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 surpri=
se to some.

Effective July 1 this year I plan on retiring from CAS. While I have no re=
al particular post-retirement plans I do not plan on becoming a coach potat=
o. 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 e=
ach year. Obviously significant travel plans are not in the picture, altho=
ugh 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-ti=
me, part-time basis!!

It has been a great 3+ years with Science IP and 14 years total with CAS pr=
eceded by 22 years as a chemist and information scientist in the pharmaceut=
ical industry. I've learned alot, enjoyed working with great people, and h=
ad the opportunity to travel and meet many knowledgeable and exciting folks=
 in the searcher/patent world. I am especially appreciative of the opportu=
nities, support and friendship provided me by all members of the PIUG and i=
ts 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
