Ray Lenzi retiring?

Many of you know Ray Lenzi for his two part history in Carbondale, he was student body president of SIU back in the student riot days. He later returned to Carbondale and had a number of "suit" jobs at SIUC before settling into running all the State of Illinois economic development center in the Dunn-Richman building. He is married to Maggie Flanagan (Maggie's new gig - http://www.sicf.org/index.php).

Word on the street is that Ray's retirement party is Wednesday, but I didn't get an invitation.

Economic development is Southern Illinois is tough. It will be interesting to see what Ray's successor does.
