It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear shop cat, Swiffer. His kidneys failed and there was nothing the vet could do. This came on quite suddenly, and non of us were prepared. We should all remember the belly rubs, purring, laying on carving tools, drinking the paint water, and mooching snacks from students. We will all miss him greatly.

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."
