Succession

Today, in the middle of a rather tedious faculty meeting, I was able to make the following announcement: "I have taught History of Math for most of the last twenty-five years. It's a very different course from anything else we offer. I plan to retire after Spring Semester 2023, and I'm looking for an understudy. If you're interested in teaching that course, let me know."

I have a volunteer, and he's the guy I was actually thinking of. We'll discuss the matter later, but I think the problem is on its way to being solved.
