All Good Things...

Friends & Colleagues,

Forgive me, but I’m awful at goodbyes -- today is my last day with Alcatel-Lucent. (18-Sep)

It’s been a long journey from my first days at AT&T in Skokie, a stretch at Little Rock and finally here at Lisle-Naperville.

I appreciate your support and your friendship. The recent years have been unpleasant for all us who saw better days in our company – yet it has remained a pleasure for me working with each of you.

For those who remain, I hope there are better times for you with ALU, for everyone I trust you will find new and more rewarding opportunities in life after ALU.

If there’s one thing, I learned, we do live in a small world – perhaps our paths may yet cross again in the future, I would find fortune to be in your company again.

Please stay in touch.

Cheers & Warm Regards,
John Van Norman
