This morning was a busy one for our retiring president and first lady! As the trucks were being loaded for their move, Dr. and Mrs. Meyer were surprised with cards and gifts that included locally handmade Adirondack chairs and a table, a framed print of the new chancel window in the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus, and more than 1,000 personalized notes from friends of the Seminary who expressed their love and thankfulness for the Meyers’ many years of service. Dr. Meyer officially retires June 30.
