A retirement party was held Sunday night at the bookstore where I work for Joyce, who has owned the store since 1971 and built it into a nationally recognized institution. After a number of speakers - including the president of the American Booksellers Association - made speeches recounting their association with Joyce, she came to the podium herself and and gave a moving farewell speech , as seen in the photograph above. The new owners of the store promise to continue the policies and style that Joyce instituted, and that the stores will remain the same. Does that mean I still get to take a 3 hour lunch? Let's hope.
