Many people think of June when planning their weddings. This year, for a number of UC Cooperative Extension academics, the early summer month is time to retire from a long and distinguished career.
The four retirement releases I wrote this June represented a combined 111 years of experience with UC Cooperative Extension, and these aren't the only retirements to take place this month. The advisors' stories are being picked up by the media.
The Fresno Bee included Dave Snell's retirement in its Business Briefs.
California Farmer printed Joe Camarillo's release in its entirety.
The Central Valley Business Times covered Mario Viveros' retirement in its "People in the News" column.
Ken Willmarth's retirement news release was distributed today to his hometown newspapers. It is on the ANR news Web site.
Best wishes to all our new retirees.
