Jim didn't want a traditional retirement party. "Too many greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention unwanted calories," he said. So instead we are having a Virtual Retirement Party - carbon neutral and heart healthy!

To celebrate, Jim wants all his colleagues and associates to post a good wish, photo or a memory to this blog. You can even ask Jim a question. Jim will reply to every post! (Jim will be the only person able to comment on messages after they are posted).

And while you're at it, Jim hopes you will consider a donation in his honor to his favorite charity, our own Talking Book and Braille Services.

Please submit your message before Jim retires on December 30, 2011. Include your name at the end of your message.

One who truly believes

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim through his service on the Oregon Heritage Commission. He is one who truly believes that books make people's lives better. His passion to serve the people of Oregon and expose them to books and their glory showed in his every action. Thanks Jim!

    Thanks Kuri. It's been great working with you. The Oregon Heritage Commission staff is small but you make up for it with your knowledge, energy and passion for your your work. Keep it up. I hope our paths will cross again, perhaps in an historic cemetary!
