Thanking a Retiring Staff Member

To all USA Division Members,

One of our longest serving VATUSA staff members, Cornell Lloyd has decided to retire from his position as the Southern Air Traffic Director, VATUSA8. Cornell has had a long and distinguished tenure as a part VATUSA staff beginning way back in February 2006. His time and dedication to this division and to the VATSIM network as a whole are much appreciated and will be greatly missed. He has always put forth a positive attitude and a commitment to bettering VATUSA for all members to enjoy. As with so many of our staffers before, and as fate will determine for many others yet to be, Cornell's achievements and advancements outside of the network have risen to the point where tough decisions about how to spend time have to be made, and while this is a distinct loss for VATUSA, we wish him all the best and nothing but great successes in all of his future endeavors.

So raise a glass and toast our friend, colleague, and fellow VATSIM'er, Cornell Lloyd for a happy retirement and blue skies ahead!

Good Luck, we will miss your involvement, and don't forget that you always have a home in VATUSA.

Sincerely,

Cornell, you'll be missed by myself and many in the organization.

Real life can always come up and bite, but it sounds like it's a good kind of bite I think?

In any case, cheers and thanks for your long standing service.

Cornell has been a fixture here and a reliable staff member for as long as I can recall. It's always sad to see a good man go, but he certainly has paid his dues and served VATUSA above and beyond what he was asked to do.

Best of luck Cornell, and thanks for all you have accomplished!

I remember when you were a new member of VATSIM and student of mine at Indianapolis. I want to thank you for the dedication over the years. I'm sure we will see you again! Good luck man.
