Please see the following.....I've attached also in case this does not come thru in e-mail message.
There once was a man named Lyle
Who had his own flair and style
Whether in field, classroom or lab
No day was ever too drab
For the man who was so versatile.
He could take your research data
and with nary an eyelash bata
Would compute the stats
For all of you brats
He'd be rich if he'd charged a pro-rata!
Lyle's cucumbers were quite famous
For those of us who were ignoramous
At growing such a fine crop
The bounty we hoped would not stop
This gesture was deemed mandamus!
On April 18^th Lyle will be leaving
To begin a new chapter I'm a believing
So let's bid him farewell
In 218 Agriculture-al
10:00am party time I'm a perceiving!
Please RSVP to Bev @ Bev_Godard@umanitoba.ca by April 4^th .
Yes, I will attend__________________________ (name)
I would like to make a contribution toward the gift__________ (amount)
(Gift contributions can be brought to Bev Godard, 222 Agriculture Bldg)
