&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Today marks the official retirement of John Gabriel from the staff of  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Argonne National Laboratory. John has had a brilliant career as an  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;applied mathematician for over 40 years, first in the UK and for the  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;last 26 years here at ANL. The last 3 years, John has been my Senior  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scientist and good friend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John's postings to this net have always been of high scientific  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;quality, even if not always in tune with prevailing sentiment or  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;understanding of the evidence presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope you will join me in encouraging John Gabriel to do for the net  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;what I have asked him to do for my team at Argonne - drop by every  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;once in a while to see if we are still on track.
