Paul Patton Concerning Dr. Lee Todd's Retirement
KENTUCKY...
“I take this opportunity to congratulate Lee Todd on the 10 years of outstanding leadership he has provided to the University of Kentucky. In virtually every area, the university has moved forward during these past 10 years.
While my administration, in conjunction with the Kentucky General Assembly, developed the road map to improve the lives of our people through improved postsecondary education, we, of necessity, had to leave it to the administrators of our colleges and universities to make the goals a reality. They have done an outstanding job under the most difficult circumstances to exist in our lifetimes.
Lee Todd has been a consistent and effective advocate of progress through education and has led by example. Because of his leadership, the university is poised to achieve the very lofty goals which House Bill 1 established for the university. Lee Todd and his leadership of the University of Kentucky is one of the most significant legacies of my tenure as governor of Kentucky.
I know that Lee’s service to the people of Kentucky and the cause of education is not complete. He will continue to be involved at both the state and national level.
On a personal note, Lee and Patsy have been very kind to Judi and me and we consider them to be personal friends.”
