| We gathered to bid Mr. Starck safe journey and best wishes. | The faculty made sure Mr. Starck would be appropriately dressed. |
 |
 |
| Kind of like a baby shower for an adult. The guys were very pleased to be included for a change. | Except they were looking for the cake and punch for a while afterward. |
 |
 |
| The staff took the opportunity to thank Mr. Starck for all the things he has done over the years for Gardens | and for the children. |
 |
 |
| Some of the children he had befriended were able to attend and thank him too. | After a special performance, the other ancillary teachers enveloped Mr. Starck in a group hug. |
 |
ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET, MR. STARCK? |
| A well-deserved standing ovation. |
