Dear Pformer Pfohosers,

I've spent about two hours combing my email for any gmails or other post-Harvard emails I have for Pfoho Peeps from around 2006-2011. Let me say in advance that I'm sorry for both the massive bulk email, and that it's not more massive (i.e. there are definitely people I've forgotten and I preemptively feel bad about it).

The reason I've gathered you all here is that after decades of supporting the Harvard community, our beloved Sue Watts is retiring from being the Pfoho House Administrator. A number of us want to celebrate her and show her how appreciated she is and all of the lives she touched, so we are looking for a little help. 

We have a few ideas for celebrating Sue, all of which are SURPRISES so please DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO SUE:

Top Priority (BY MAY 20th)- SUBMIT A PfOTO IF YOU HAVE ONE. We are going to be making a Mosaic of photos for Sue to give her at her retirement party. If you have a photo of Sue, or with Sue, or of a moment that would be meaningful to Sue, please share them with us.

We would love for you to do one or both of these: 

  1. (BY JUNE 10th) We are using Kudoboard to gather short notes of congratulations for Sue. We hope to gather hundreds of short notes of congratulations for her that she can look through and be reminded of all the people she touched (if you have a relevant photo, it would be great to include it with your message here too).
  2. (BY JUNE 10th) Sue has had such an impact on so many lives and in such deep ways that we decided to create a secret email account to gather all the stories- so we’ve created SueWattsR...@gmail.com. Email Sue a note about what a difference she made in your life, or a favorite memory with her, or even just a congrats and an update on your life. On June 11th, we’ll reveal the email account to her and give her access- and the bonus is that she’ll have your email address, and you’ll be able to stay in touch!

We plan on gifting all three of these to Sue during a digital Zoom toast on Friday, June 11th, so if you have something to contribute, please do so ahead of time. if you can! And if you want to join us in a 15 minute digital celebration, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/aKwcaQjVVGRgMnA17

Please share this with anyone you think I've missed who would be interested. Please let me know if you encounter any roadblocks or have any questions or ideas, and just to reiterate: DON’T SAY ANYTHING TO SUE UNTIL AFTER JUNE 11th!!!!

I hope each and every one of you are well and I miss the wonderful Pfoho community that we all shared at one time or another.  

Pflove,

Brandon
