FAREWELL FROM THE SECRETARY
What a wonderful four years I have experienced with the officers and members of CLAH! I want to take this opportunity say "goodbye" to a group of friendly, delightful, and very cooperative people. When I retired from Toledo Public Schools after 30 years as a teacher and administrator, I did not think I wanted to work any longer. However, when CLAH offered me this part-time position, it sounded like just the thing for me to make my transition from the education field to the golf and tennis clubs. I still felt young and full of energy and wanted to continue making my contributions to the world. The hours were just right, but I never expected to enjoy the work as much as I did. I suppose it was because I had such great people to work with. In addition to working with Paul Dosal, a very pleasant and cooperative supervisor (as well as Ward Stavig the first year), I had the pleasure of working with Lyman Johnson, Susan Socolow, and last, but not least, Asunción Lavrin. This terrific group of people made my job so pleasant; and in addition, meeting many of you at the last four conferences makes it even more difficult for me to "give up" CLAH. I will certainly miss your kind words and friendly smiles and your humorous and uplifting emails. Thank you for a very rich and rewarding experience in allowing me to be part of your very prestigious organization. I will always remember CLAH and its extraordinary membership. Adiós, Sandy Guthrie
