In addition to renewing old
friendships, enjoying a sumptuous luncheon, and tapping toes
along with the lively and animated “Young at Heart” chorus,
UCFRA members welcomed
this year’s scholarship recipient,
Mitchell Gribbroek, as a special luncheon guest.
During the business portion of
the luncheon, members unani-
mously returned Barbara Ratti,
Dick Lavender, and Linda Bonta to the Boar d of Dir ector s for
second, two-year terms and also
unanimously elected Marilyn
Salter to a new, two-year term.
By unanimous vote, members also
approved two changes to the bylaws: (1) changing the Association’s fiscal year to a regular calendar year and (2) removing the
restriction of being eligible to
serve only two consecutive years
in office for president and vice
president of the organization.
At its November 6th meeting,
board members voted to retain all
current Association officers
through 2015.
In tribute~
With honor and a heartfelt “thank you,” the UCF Retirement Association dedicates this issue of the newsletter to the memory of John
Shadgett, who passed away on Nov. 21st at his Winter Par k home.
Dr. Shadgett moved from Tampa to serve as a
professor in the early years of Florida Technological University and participated in its transition to UCF. Prior to his joining the UCF faculty, he was associated with the University of
South Florida, Florida Atlantic University, and
Florida State Board of Regents. He retired in
1990 and served the UCFRA as a member of its
Board of Directors in the early days of the Association and volunteered to serve a second time
two years ago.
