Been asked to forward this. It was sent to me in a beautiful graphic, but since
the HEDIR doesn't allow attachments/graphics, all one will see is text. Looks
like an interesting conference though.

Thanks, Randy,
It was great to see you and Karen in Salt Lake City. Catching up on family
happenings was fun as well. Your Mom and in-laws are in our prayers. Georgia and
I felt honored that you would take the time to have dinner with us on two
evenings with your busy schedule. We hope to get your way next summer and we
plan to go to AAHE in Baltimore so we'll have at least two chances to see you in
the next year.
Thanks for the info on Lorraine. I will be in China during her retirement event,
but I will send her a card.
Warm regards,
Jim

Anyone who knows Lorraine Davis, an outstanding health educator at the

Subject: Lorraine Davis retirement party

In case you hadn't heard, Lorraine Davis is going to retire from the University
of Oregon this summer. There will be an ice cream social retirement party on the
U of O campus June 13th at 3:30. If you're in the area feel free to join in the
fun (it will be on the lawn south of Johnson Hall).
While I don't know all of Lorraine's many colleagues or former students, I hope
that colleagues/friends/former students will use their respective networks to
let other folks know of Lorraine pending retirement.
I'm sure that several of you will want to send cards, notes, etc. Carol Rydbom,
Executive Secretary to the President, is the university contact person for the
event. You can send personal cards, notes, etc to her.
*Note on the envelope that it's for Lorraine Davis' retirement.

Hopefully you will each forward the information to others who would want to know
to send their best wishes for retirement.
If you want to find out more information on the personal side of things, contact
me, her sister, Esther Moe.
