[Year 12 IT Apps] Goodbye, Farewell, Adios!

[P. Barrera]

Dear Keith,

You will be missed tremendously. Your tenacity, your altruism and 
willingness to help others will never be matched. Yep, the list will go 
on,
. but you will be immortalised by many of us that do admire you and 
were touched by your commitment.

Best of luck unknown, well known mate!!!

Enjoy your retirement!!

Cheers,

Patricio Barrera
I have not taught ITA for the last 3 years but still enjoy the list
