The Université de Haute Alsace hosts the EPS Secretariat. One of the best things they ever did for us was to attach Sylvie Loskill as the EPS Administrative Secretary. She joined us on 1 October 2001, and took her well earned retirement on 31 March 2021. Over the 20 years that we worked together, Sylvie maintained a positive attitude, every day. We all know that she was a pleasant person to be around. The EPS took on a festive appearance during the holidays, with decorations for Christmas and Easter. She always took special care when EPS Members visited the secretariat, and we all appreciated the artistic and appetising buffets she organised during Executive Committee meetings.  Sylvie went out of her way to make sure that all visitors felt welcome when they came to the Secretariat. Her current plans include travel, as soon as the situation allows it, and her continued involvement in humanitarian actions in developing countries. We all wish her a long and happy retirement.
