Dear LORRE team: I am sad to report that Tommy Kreke has resigned his position in LORRE and has accepted an offer at IDEM, effective March 27. He has provided 8 wonderful years of service to LORRE and to Purdue University, and now has an great opportunity to advance his career, as well as to be closer to his family. We are all proud of Tommy’s many achievements in LORRE, and will miss his positive approach and bright smile, as well as his many skills, contributions and leadership that he has contributed to our laboratory. Tommy has told me that he will be back in the area over weekends for the next month or so, and I would like to host a social event to celebrate his new job and to convey our thanks to a fellow Boilermaker and LORRE team member. In the meantime, please offer your congratulations to Tommy. Best wishes, Mike Michael R.
