I don't know why this didn't strike me until yesterday, but it occurred to me just how much institutional knowledge we lost with Patillo.

I had been hoping that he'd take a sort of emeritus position with SFA, retired but helping with intros for the new prez to donors, fundraising, in Austin, etc.

The new Prez is gonna have their work cut out for them without Baker along to transfer that knowledge. They'll have to forge relationships with Mr Cole, Joe Max, etc on their own.
I don't believe he was ever going to retire. At the 95th anniversary he said he wanted to stay on to the 100th. There is plenty of long term staff to assist in the transition.

That's likely true. The Emeritus was more of a semi-retirement position I was thinking of, where he could be involved, provide advice, etc, but focus on a few strategic projects, like targeting specific donors, etc.
