Email sent out to the university today:

October 30, 2009

To the University Community:

Earlier today, at the Faculty and Staff picnic at Old Main Pit, I announced my intention to retire as President of Sam Houston State University effective August 31, 2010. I notified Chancellor Matthews of this decision earlier this week.

Nancy and I have enjoyed this time of our lives more than I can describe. It has been an incredible honor to serve with the entire university community as president of this grand old university. We have been able to renew old friendships, and make many new friends, while serving in a position that has brought us tremendous joy and fulfillment.

Please accept my profound thanks and appreciation for your support and commitment to Sam Houston State during my tenure.

Sincerely,

James F. Gaertner
President

OF - mentioned you in the letter thanking President Gaertner that I sent to him and Kathy Gilcrease. Said that his communication and willing to listen has extended from my time to yours. Wow - that made me sound old! Wink
