If you had your choice, would you spend the winter in Crystal Lake or the Florida Keys?

The McHenry County College Board selected Larry Tyree to be its interim president after Walt Packard was handed his walking papers last spring, albeit with a golden parachute costing taxpayers something in the range of $200,000. He left after only about a month in Crystal Lake for family reasons.

Now Tryee, has landed a similar gig at Florida Keys Community College, according to a story in KeysNet.com.

The story says that Tryee could receive almost $200,000 for working a full year on the job.

Ironically, the woman he is replacing also has a golden parachute.  One question the Florida community college has that MCC did not is what office Tryee will occupy. The outgoing president in the Keys has not yet vacated the president’s office.

The headcount at the college is about 2,000.
