Those who’ve worked with me during my many years at Hudson Valley know that I’m not usually — or happily — caught off guard. But that was not the case when I was greeted by a large gathering of employees, retirees and board members who came out on a rainy evening to celebrate my retirement.
The recounting of many fond memories, and the outpouring of support and perhaps too much praise, were both overwhelming and heartwarming. I was truly moved.
As I said last night, my success on this campus is the result of the contributions of many – each and every one of you – whose goal each day is to make this great community college even better. I could not do it without you. There has not been a day in 48 years that I’ve wanted to be anywhere else.
Thank you all,
Jim LaGatta
