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

[Robert Hind]

Sorry for my delay in replying - but I am semi-retired!

But I agree with the "Get a life" idea - That is exactly what you are doing. 
Getting the life that you want. So whether that is teaching full blast, 
supporting us on the list, or . . . .

So Keith you have decided to "Get a life" that is no longer full time 
teaching. Good luck to you and I do hope you enjoy your retirement.
