Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 855: John Luck retires this week From: John Luck > ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2001-12-17 08:52:00 UTC Message No. 855 ******************************************************************************** Author: John Luck Subject: John Luck retires this week Dear colleagues, I am retiring this week, on Wednesday 19 December 2001 at 06:00 UTC (5pm local time). I intend to retain my association with ILRS, and (subject to John Degnan´s approval) my position on the Governing Board until October next year. Joyce and I are making plans to attend the Washington Workshop, but after then retirement will be even more complete! I have tendered my resignation to WPLTN. What can I say? SLR and LLR, plus Time, have been my life for more years than I care to confess. It is true to say that my best friends have come from these communities, and all my achievements have come in them. It has been a pleasure and a rare privilege to be a part of these activities, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Please delete the address johnluck@auslig.gov.au from your distribution lists. For correspondence of an official nature, please use: SLR@auslig.gov.au and it will be read by Jim Steed and/or Gary Johnston who have been nominated as ILRS Associates, and who will be taking over my local duties. For personal correspondence please use: kateluck@optusnet.com.au (this will change in the new year when I have my own computer and modem, and have learned how to use them . . . .) My other details are: Postal: 15 Weingarth St., Holder ACT 2611 Australia Phone: +61 2 6288-3263 Fax: Nil My wife and I have decided not to sell our home or move down to the coast or anything like that - we have lived in our house too long to leave it now! However, I will be available for consultancy-type work at almost any time and place, for reasonable durations and astronomical fees. We will be willing to swap houses or come to any convenient such arrangement. May I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Love to you all, from Joyce and me.
