Congratulations Joe! Let's get together for a ride before you go. We're going to miss having the best wind blocker around...
I wanted to send out a mass shout-out to let everyone know that I've accepted a tenure-track asst. prof position at James Madison U in Harrisonburg, VA beginning in August. Of course, this means that my timeframe for the year is accelerating, and that I must abdicate my responsibilities as CCC secretary for the balance of the year. I am doing this because there is no way I can do an adequate job while preparing to leave the area and then leaving by early/mid-July. Hopefully the club can find a suitable replacement for me.
: I'll miss you guys, but by no means am I leaving forever...there's always summer and there's always winter vacation respites to the desert.... I'll also be out riding some, particularly by early May, when I'm done with my dissertation defense and everything....
: Take care and thanks for the wonderful experience of being involved in the CCC. I wish I didn't have to go, but destiny calls, and I must answer, 'lest I wind up like one of the disgruntled ex-academics that roam the alley-ways of Bisbee looking for a fix or something....
: Best to all of you,
: Joe
