Retirement of Mary Hix from VTS

Mary Hix had her retirement dinner this past weekend, and it was a marvelous event with many friends returning and a delicious banquet. Ellen Davis and Dwayne Hubner stayed overnight with Cathy and me, and the four of us had a great time. Mary was an excellent Vice President at VTS, and she will be missed. She worked tirelessly at the schools management and finances, and always with grace and good humor. Mary always tried to help and work things out, and she gave Cathy and me special support when terrible tragedy struck. She will be missed. In a big sense, she is not gone, since she remains our friend and will surely be around a lot to maintain relationships and to consult with VTS on many knotty puzzles that are sure to pop up in the running of the seminary!
