  8. Greetings from Past APA Presidents…

  9. Paula Boodt • “I was certainly shocked and saddened by Joyce's passing. She was a force to be reckoned with! I will always remember the great times we had at our annual meetings at Parkview Hills clubhouse. APA has always been a social organization in addition to its important role in speaking out for professional/administrative staff to the administration. Joyce was a very accomplished speaker and was always eager to articulate concerns on behalf of the APA. She was a passionate, articulate advocate for our employee group and her voice and her presence will be missed by all. Hope all is well with the APA.”

  10. Lowell Rinker • “Joyce [DeRight] was actually one of the folks who urged me to run for APA president back in 1976. At the time, there was a movement … within the P&A ranks to move APA towards a union. I just felt that we all would be better served by working hard to strengthen the communication and interaction with WMU administration rather than unionize P&A staff....I guess I was pretty vocal about because Joyce and others said if I felt so strongly then I should run for the leadership of APA. As I think back now....heck, I was only 26 at the time.....still pretty wet behind the ears. But my feelings haven't changed.....I think APA members have been very well served by its leadership and committees over the years. I am proud to have been a part of that history, and wish all in the APA the best for 2012.”

  11. Toby Boyle • I second Lowell's statement - Joyce will be missed by many. Who will forget the immensely funny presentation she gave at the Spring Luncheon a few years back. And a spitfire, to be sure - as my VP back in the old, old days she and I bumped heads over the issue of combining the APA and CTO into one organization. Guess who won?And then there is poor, misguided Lowell. He and I were, at different times (I am not THAT old), at opposite ends of the union debate. It is my one regret to this day, especially considering the faculty were getting 3% yearly raises during what they call the Great Recession, and the staff were getting only small, token one-time payments. But enough about that.I do hope your historical perspective will mention Tony Griffin - not only a fiercely loyal Bronco, renowned newsperson and voice for many of WMUK, and loved family man, but he was my mentor and friend.

  12. A few more blasts from the past…
