Dear CHRIS KLINTON,
Today, I am faced with the duty of announcing the retirement of Patricia Jones, our university head librarian. She has provided the university and its students with 35 years of her invaluable service by caring for all the students’ and faculty’s research needs. Her caring and gentle manner not only towards the university’s important texts but also towards students and faculty alike have been a immense help for all who seek refuge in the calmness of her library.
Not only was Patricia the head librarian, she is also the person people turn to whenever they need advice or just someone who would listen. Her tranquil presence has always been a joy to be around, especially in times of personal turmoil. She is indeed not someone who can ever be replaced in the university.
A party shall be held in honor of our dear Madame Patricia on April 4 at the university dance hall at 5:30 p.m. Please join us in showing our appreciation for her and making sure that she joyfully starts a new chapter in the wonderful book of her life.
Sincerely,
Dierdre
