As you hopefully know by now, Ken Hall is leaving HMSC for opportunities and sunshine in San Diego. We’ll be celebrating his time at Hatfield at this morning’s donuts, with donuts and some additional goodies. I don’t have a lot of Ken Hall/Donut themed stories, but here’s one: There was a Wednesday morning, about a year ago (possibly longer), where various factors came together to prevent anyone from picking up the Donut Wand. Ken noticed, and went out to get a couple of dozen. Around the same time, Londi noticed the same thing and went out to get a couple of dozen. Also around that time, Mattias noticed the same thing, and went out to get three dozen (you know, it was Mattias). That morning, there were seven dozen donuts at the Wednesday Donut Fair. The thing is, Londi and Mattias bought donuts because they coordinate the Wednesday donuts. It’s their job. Ken bought them because he’s the kind of guy who makes things come together. Sometimes, because it’s his job, but often just because he wants things to work. Ken was tremendously good at making things work at Hatfield, and I, among many, will miss him as both a friend and as an awesome Hatfielder. Thanks, Ken.
