I just got an email from a friend who tried to call Richard at Banks yesterday. He wasn't able to get through to him but found out that Richard had hurt his leg pretty badly - bad enough that he had to go to the hospital because he couldn't walk. When my friend finally got in touch with him, he told my friend that he was thinking of retiring!
Well, I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. The other day I was wondering how old he must be since I first called him almost twenty years ago. If he does retire, hopefully, he'll get someone to do phone support in his absence.
It will be a sad day for a lot of us when he does retire but I know it will be a well deserved retirement!
