The cake says it all!
Reinhart remarked that his job would not have been possible without the tremendous support of many talented people over the past 10 years.
Many are pictured here with him - from left Brenda Bradshaw, Carrie Harber, Rob, Carol Justice, Suzanne D'Alvise,

Although Reinhart states that being Chair was "the best job he's ever had",
its time for a well-deserved sabbatical in Vancouver and Oxford
Thanks for 10 great years!
