Duncan Reid Retires

Duncan Reid announced his retirement on the eleventh of March, with effect from the end of the month, and there was a party.

Of course there was a party. There is always a party. There were four hundred people in the atrium and a speech from the managing partner about thirty-one years of service and a presentation of something in a box, and Duncan spoke for nine minutes without notes and was extremely funny, and everybody said afterwards that it was very sudden but that he'd been talking about Portugal for years.
