Dear Ansley,

Thanks for all your devotions at making Ferret a success. You will surely be missed because you are a rare gem. Thank you for your selfless service. I wish you a happy retirement!

Ferret was introduced at IPSL by Patrick Brockmann, who developed nice additional packages for the IPSL model (FAST and ATLAS). In nearly 30 years, I really appreciated the role of the Ferret team. First, they alway answer our question fast and in a relevant manner. Second, the evolution of Ferret throughout these years really take into account all our remarks and need. We will remember you as a pillar of this team. We wish you a very happy retirement.

After a break in September I will continue in a half-time appointment here for the next year to assist in the transition, and the group will be hiring a new person to support the software and bring in new skills and ideas.

We also ask you to think about folks you know who are good developers and might be interested in this new position. If you do have ideas, please get back to us at the oar.pmel.contact_ferret@xxxxxxxx email address and we'll pass along more information. The person need not know Ferret, but must have strong programming skills.
