Sure John. So you are suggesting "old codgers" or ROPS? ;-) From: optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optimal-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Gerty Sent: Friday, August 30, 2013 12:14 PM To: optimal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [optimal] Re: Farewell to Richard Hackel at Unv. of Michigan, Kellogg That would be a very useful idea. Besides keeping some old codgers around we could preserve some institutional memory. Do I get the naming credit?

You could easily share updates with each other: sailboats, shipwreckes, recipes, woodworking, travel, etc. You could have your own blog, shared photo album, message forum… We have the space to host it on the site and would only take a few minutes to set up. Let me know if you are interested and I'll make it happen. tim ps, I'm jealous of all you retired/soon to be retired folks!

I’ll be joining the ranks of ROPS by the end of the year – sounds like we could even have our own meeting – but like the journal, we would have talks on everything, but eye balls ☺ Hope to see you soon, and stay in touch!

Richard is one of my heroes and more importantly, an all-around nice guy who never took himself too seriously yet left a huge mark on our field. Good Luck Richard !
