Of course, the memories I still hold dear in my heart are his first 15 years there. Why? Because after he got the job, we rode to work together on the G bus and the El to Center City (to my job), and then he got back on the El and rode to University City (to his job). He bought a Daily News every day before we left home, read to me so I could keep up with what's going on, and we had some spirited conversations and debates during our morning commutes. When that finally came to an end in 2005 because he started a new position with different working hours, I really missed his presence and the commute to work wasn't the same. It took me a couple of years to get over it because someone 'moved my cheese' (I hate that book), but eventually I did.
So, Congrats Luvy! I know the university is going to miss you just like I did because there is only one YOU, and YOU are a class act that is tough to follow!
