It's "see you later", not "farewell"

Times, they are a-changin"...good people come and go...till we meet again...all the cliches. Exactly how does one say really say goodbye to colleagues that leave the work team? If they are well-liked, then it is never easy...parties and celebrations do go a long way, though, to providing that closure. Or better stated...that entree to the next chapter....

First, the Aussie of the group, Falcon (and his partner, Buffy) head back to the land of Oz, via Hong Kong for a little R&R. Yea...now we cooking with gas! Falcon...you'll be missed! Plus, you always make me laugh....A little happy hour for the Falcon was apropos ...we salute you!



Memories of Happy Hour...HR and the SSC gang!























And then there is the Scottish gentleman, Mr. P, who has been a coach and mentor to many of us in countless ways! In honor of him, the evening venue then changed as well as kicked into high gear with a dinner, and a cabaret act that got us ALL on our feet towards the end. I am a bit concerned that Nicci and Nigel must surely have thrown their hips out a whack with those dance moves. Seriously, all the best to Mr. P in the future, and especially on the links - the Budman and I look forward to heading up you way for a meal and a little sightseeing.

The short answer to the earlier question: one can't say goodbye to dear friends...it is simply...I'll see you later!
