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

[Kevork Krozian]

Dear Keith,

  It is with much sadness that we all say goodbye to a fabulous person, friend and altruist.

Many have written much about what you have done for them individually and the sum total of all those individual testimonies is what our Keith has 
done for us and much, much more. 
He has given many times more than he has taken, he has shared and encouraged, and above all else remained a total gentleman throughout.
Keith has kept the faith, accepted the new study design challenges a number of times and maintained the kind, friendly and warm demeanour with experienced as well as brand new teachers who have come on board.

You have touched so many of us with your presence on these lists and in person at our various gatherings over the years, and as you kick back and relax feel free to drop in when the urge grabs you ...

Best Wishes

 

Kevork Krozian

This is probably the last email I will send to the ITA (formerly IPM)
list as tomorrow I retire from teaching after 42 incredible years.
Thank you all for your wonderful support during my time associated with
this list. Two things became apparant - "give and you shall receive",
"ask and you shall be swamped with support". Many on our list are
committed givers, totally unselfish, totally supportive of one another,
and inspirational to us all.
I remember in my early months on this list, receiving an email from a
now retired teacher who advised me to "Get a life" implying, I suppose,
that in her opinion I spent too much time preparing and sharing stuff
for our kids, via the IPM list. For about half an hour, this stung me
into paralysis, then I thought what the heck! If you don't like it,
tough luck, and kept on giving.
Where would be be if Kevork decided to "Get a life" away from our shared
needs, or many of the other regular contributers?
Bye to you all, guys and gals, have a great Christmas Break, and return
to your IT classes refreshed and inspired for another year at the
chalk-face.
Warm regards, Keith
Former ITA List Moderator, logging out.
