"There is no question that Rick Gray’s retirement is a big loss for intellectual life in the humanities at UW. Rick’s spirited insights and generous collegiality will be much missed. Nonetheless, we are happy on his behalf, and glad to learn that he will continue to be around on campus as Professor Emeritus. Anyone who has bicycled to campus for many years through the winter rains is likely to be unstoppable past retirement."
