For those who don't know, Ian V will be retiring soon (I think at the end of this academic year or calender year), and I was thinking that it would be a really good idea if we sent a card or two round robin style and get as many people to sign it as possible. Obviously all past softengs and compsci that had IV as a lecturer may be interested in signing a card, so could you forward this to other ex-students you know. If you want to take part could you send me an email to jen.a.freeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, including your postal address Also, If your not in the UK could you make sure you say what country your in in the subject line (so I can try to work out the easiest way to do this). Regards, Jen Freeman P.S. PM is retiring next year
