*** Sent on behalf of Dean Rickey ***

Dear LFSers,

Thank you so much to those who made it to the LFS Faculty BBQ and who were part of the event yesterday – I was honoured to see so many of you there.

I was very humbled and touched by all of the kind sentiments. The signed Ichiro baseball, the Asahi jersey, the T-bird top were amazing!!  Topped off by Coke Zero and the ever-elusive Bugles – Thank you so much for these thoughtful gifts.

To everyone, it has truly been my pleasure to serve as Dean of the Friendly Faculty.  Thank you for making LFS the wonderful faculty it is – it was a team effort.

Wishing you all the best in the future – come and visit us in Edmonton.  Go Canucks Go!

Stay well/safe. Have a great weekend.

Regards and Cheers, Rickey
