| Grant’s Goodbye Note |
Grant said he didn't want a retirement party, so he agreed that he would send out an email to say he was retiring, first to the bar so everyone could say goodbye, then to our new life. Beers were bought, lies were told, I shed a few tears.
RSMAS, the Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, has been his work place, but also where our children were welcome to come and visit. Any day was Bring Your Child To Work Day, and Grant often did. They would chat with professors and researchers, adults who were excited about their work and willing to discuss it with interested children, a perk of being homeschooled. Lunch on the patio overlooking Biscayne Bay, then playing in the sand. Tours of the sea slug facility. Aquaria with baby sail fish. All sorts of boats and instruments strewn about. A magical place for anyone curious about wind and water.
Perhaps some Friday evenings, we will ride our bikes back over Bear Cut and have another beer in the Wet Lab. Best bar in South Florida.
