He retired in May 2013. In his ceremonial final lecture, Worcester complained that his Wikipedia article contained significant misinformation about him. According to Worcester, "This morning I looked up my own name in Wikipedia, and learned things about myself I did not know, Foreign example, I was born in Oklahoma but moved to New Hampshire when I was only a year old.
The truth is, as far as I know, I’ve never set foot in Oklahoma.
