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

[Adrian Janson]

All the best Keith!

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of thank-yous!  You were honoured
in 2003 with a VITTA Outstanding Achievement Award - which was a small token
of appreciation from the educational community for all of your hard work.
Your generosity in posting resources and your boundless enthusiasm will be
missed (perhaps just lurk around the place.... we won't mind at all!!!)

Take care and enjoy a much deserved retirement!
Cheers,
Adrian Janson
VITTA President
Director of ICT, Melbourne High School
