bmarotto Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi Bob,I have not been on the site much recently. Our go-live date for our new BB system is a few weeks away and I am 24/7 trying to get it all done. I am certainly glad I checked in tonight and have this chance to wish you well. I would have hated to find out that you had gone before I had a chance to say good bye. I have enjoyed your knowledgeable posts, unique perspective, and sense of humor. You are one of a kind!Regards,Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcurrie Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Good luck with the validation, Bev! I always dreaded new installs and upgrades. In my new position I am going to have to worry about upgrades to our our high-speed train control software. We don't want two 90 mph passenger trains running toward the same point from different directions!BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galvania Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 And a Good Bye from Switzerland. If that train just happens to travel to Europe send me a mail...Good luck in your new (old?) jobanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Olsen Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Bob,Your contibutions to this site will be greatly missed! It is a shame when this field loses yet another fine brilliant mind. I keep waiting for the day that this stigma finally changes........... Best wishes in your new position! Please keep in touch.:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcurrie Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Thanks, Karen. I consider myself to be average-but-hard-working rather than brilliant ;-)BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjlevine Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Mr. Haig.Your suggestion of a bloodmobile train is interesting.Long Island Blood Services used to hold its Long Island Railroad Blood drives on a train of parlor cars where the chairs were removed. The train, located on track 4 of Jamaica Station, consisted of, from east to west, a Medical Screening car, 2 phlebotomy cars, and a refreshment car. On the west end of the train was a power bar car, but, of course, the bar was closed.sjl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTech Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Mr. BobI am sorry I did not get a chance to meet you. I just moved to Temple from Florida. I work as a second shift generalist at KDH. I know I am new, my question is how come you have to stop visiting this site?If you will not work as much, I would guess you would be around the computer more often.Whatever, I hope you enjoy.

rcurrie Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Welcome to Temple! I will try to stay up with what is going on in blood banking, but the longer I am away from the blood bank, the less I will remember. Thus, my opinion won't be worth much after a period of time, as things change. Plus, I will be quite busy with my new job.You will probably run into Patti at KDH- she used to work there full time, but jumped ship and came to work at S&W in the blood bank. She still works at KDH parttime, though. You may want to see about working PRN at S&W. There are so many S&W people that work parttime at KDH and vice versa, it is almost like family.

adiescast Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Boy, you don't visit for a while and the place falls apart! Seriously, congratulations on your new position Bob, I hope it is going as well as you expected. If you will continue to visit, I guess we only have to say see you later, rather than goodbye...

MJDrew Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Ditto for me, adiescast! I move to Oregon, stay away for awhile, and look what happens! Bob, best of luck to you in your new career. I'm sure you will bring to it all the zest, passion and humor you brought to blood banking. It's our loss and railroading's gain! I'll miss you!

John C. Staley Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 MaryJo, what's this move to Oregon stuff??? Does that mean when I get back to Ann Arbor the first week of June you won't be around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabel Adams Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 MaryJo,I am still an Oregonian at heart and hope to return someday. Where have you moved to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDrew Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Not necessarily, John. I might just show up at Towsley if the topics are interesting to me! It's kind of a long flight!Mabel, I'm in Portland at the Red Cross. I actually live in SW Portland. So far, I can say thank heavens for Google maps, as every trip out to a "new" place is an adventure! But it's easier to navigate here as everything is closer together than I'm used to.And you should see how excited everyone gets here about a few snow flurries!
