Yes, you wore us down a few times, Stan, but you persevered. The University community, the students, the faculty, the alumni, and my colleagues on the board have been served so well by you. Your contributions are immeasurable, we've all greatly benefited from many of these. And, on a more personal basis, you have been a mentor to us all. Your encouragement, your patience with us, your steady guidance for us to serve the University as we should, to carry out our functions cannot be matched. To call you our friend is our tribute to you and Judy and I'm very proud to know you as a friend."
