colleagues from the past 20 years at a reception to mark popular
MyAV范 Porter Stanley Hearnden's departure after 38 years of service.
Stanley began working at MyAV范 in 1973 - the same year that saw the UK enter the European Union, the official opening of Sydney Opera House and the introduction of VAT.
The event, organised by Stan's colleagues, gave people a
chance to reflect on the many changes at MyAV范 over the past four decades. Professor
Michael Worton, Vice-Provost (International), paid tribute to Stan's
indomitable cheerfulness throughout his time at MyAV范. In his response, Stan
entertained those present with anecdotes from different moments during his time
at MyAV范, sprinkling his comments with his catchphrase, known to many: "It
doesn't make sense".
