John C. Staley Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 :bye::bye::bye:Well folks it's time for me to follow in the foot steps of the famous Bob Currie and move on to the next phase of my life.On December 10th I will be ending my career in Blood Banking. I am semi-retiring to a small town in Wyoming to work in a clinic that does moderately complex and waived testing only. I will be trying to remember things I have not even thought of in 25+ years. I will continue to haunt these page occasionally in the future but my imput will be based on historical information and not current real time.Cliff, thanks for putting together such a terrific site for blood bankers to get together and learn from each other. I finally exceeded your number of posts so it's time to move on.CheersJohn:wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabel Adams Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Looks like I should either retire or cut back on posting. Wouldn't be the first time it was suggested I be quiet. John, we have had a long on-line run all these years. I feel like I know you though we have never met. Enjoy the change and keep in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcsmrz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 As one rapidly approaching retirement as well, I wish you the best ...Thanks for passing on some of your wit and wisdom to us Blood Bankers. I hope "artificial blood" hits the market before our knowledge disappears -- I see few new MT's interested in spending their careers hunched over a viewer shaking tubes like we did.

Philip Thornton Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thank you for your quality input and blood bank experience that was shared with the rest of us. I hope you continue to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well everyone this is my last day. Thank you for all the kind words. I will be intouch but much less frequently and all of my comments will have to be taken in a historical context and not my current practice. It's been a good ride and I hope you all fair as well.CheersJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 John, we will miss you. Please visit this website as much as you can. Do not be like Rob Currie!!!. But I can't blame him he is busy managing trains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
