We at SAS (and especially the Search Committee) are so indebted to you. Our successful search began with Carney Sandoe, but it was working with you that really made it happen. I am sure you sensed that the stakes couldn’t have been higher - and we hit the ball out of the park with our decisions thanks to you. My personal gratitude for your guidance, patience, expertise, and professionalism at every turn of our search and transition is difficult to put in to words. I couldn't have done it without you.
