Day #118 was a bittersweet day for me and many others at Penn. We gathered, on the afternoon of 4/27/16, to celebrate the career of my good friend and colleague Janet Ansert! It was so great to hear so many people from so many avenues of the campus step up to the podium and offer their reflections and kind words about Janet and her impact on them and their students. It is a legacy into which I am soon stepping and one I hope to be able to continue for many years to come! What I like the most about what was said is how so many people felt they could lean on Janet in their times of need. I certainly have done so many times. And now, it is I who needs to be ready for folks to lean on ME. So, I leave this song as the song of the day, not the original Bill Withers version, but the version I remember from the 1980s!
