I'll say three things. Number one, it was not my number one priority. Number two, from the perspective of the role I played on appointments, I did have a to-do list. On that to-do list—not at the top, but probably in the middle—was the need to appoint someone as SDTC chair. I did hope that the process would be completed before I retired on June 28.
The third thing is a personal thing, which is that I actually had double hip surgery on December 18. I continued to work in January, February and March, but I did not really come back to work in the office until March. Why did I not participate in the process? I don't think I ever would have, but the fact is that from a physical perspective, I could not do so.
