Pat,
On behalf of all the students (past and present) on 1503, I want to thank you for everything you have ever done for our team. From your sense of humor, brilliant ideas, and brownies, you have been an extremely valuable asset to our team. It has been an honor to work with you for the past few years, and you will be dearly missed, just as much as you are respected.
Thanks for putting us back on the map. We owe you one there. Good luck in all your future endeavors, we look forward to running into you occasionally throughout the years. Hope you won't be feeling like the color of the shirt you'll be wearing then.
-Nick
