Dorothy Gunther Retires
Dorothy Gunther retired on January 7th after thirty years of service to Colgate as a
custodian in Lathrop Hall. As many of you may remember, Dorothy truly was a member
of the geology department, taking care of her Lathrop 'family' and impressing students
and faculty alike with her cheerful approach to every task. In appreciation of all
her efforts, the Physics/Astronomy and Geology departments honored Dorothy with a
surprise retirement reception in early December 2004 that was attended by approximately
fifty people, including students, faculty (both current and emeritus), her Buildings
and Grounds supervisors, and members of her family. After a few words of thanks and
some amusing stories by Bruce Selleck and Anthony Aveni, Dorothy was presented with
an engraved Colgate rocking chair, a plaque, and a book of compiled memories and well
wishes from past and present students and faculty. Everyone then was invited upstairs
for refreshments and cake. The book of memories really touched Dorothy's heart, so
we'd like to extend a great thanks to all of you who contributed.
