Re: [xmca] Stepping Aside

[Helen Grimmett <helen.grimmett@monash.edu>]

Dear Mike,

Best wishes from down south to you on your retirement. As a newbie to
academia, I am sincerely indebted to you for being so instrumental not
only in introducing the Western world to Vygotsky, but for
facilitating the continued conversation for new generations of
scholars pursuing this field. I am so glad to hear that you will
continue to participate in this forum, but wish you all the very best
for whatever else you choose to do with your newly available time.

Cheers,
Helen
