Final 'Mushroom' Editorial Review, that I used for our new book.
This is all said by others, and you can either hear them say it, or read their words.
No self-aggrandizement as we both loath that.
As Pieter always said: 'Let others figure out, how good you really are, no need for putting yourself on a pedestal'.

Sure, having to say goodbye to your employer is never easy, but if you do receive such a meaningful letter as a farewell, it is different.
From R. Gordon McGovern, President Campbell Soup Company:
Dear Pieter:
The announcement of your leaving for Italy could not pass by without my writing a note of thanks for your contribution to Campbell mushrooms.
You brought a world-renowned professionalism to our operations when they sorely needed expertise.
All of us here wish to express our appreciation and best wishes. We hope succeeding generations can live up to your standards.
Regards,
R. Gordon McGovern
This was sent to our apartment in Cornuda, Treviso/Italy where we then lived and worked.
