Steve, I will never forget our times in graduate school in Knoxville and our experiences thereafter. I am so fortunate to have known you and will miss you greatly. We had many conversations over the years and last year you know you played a big part in my decision to take a new position--the best work decision I have made. I especially enjoyed sharing my experiences with you during the last year and have always appreciated your wisdom and willingness to listen. I will miss our times together, but you will never be forgotten.
