Happy New Year

A time to wish one and all a very Happy New Year. I especially want to extend this greeting to my colleagues - faculty and staff - in the Faculty of Education, Memorial University. We have grieved together over the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Dave Dibbon. A new year enables us to carry on the great work he started.

I look forward to a green winter even if it means more rain.
