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.

OSLIS and UW partnership


Jim,

Your vision for the OSLIS project was outstanding. You clearly have been a champion of the school libraries in your state. I really enjoyed working with you on the OSLIS project for the University of Washington. In fact you made it happen with your continued support.

On another note, your work on our board at the Ischool was tremendous.

You will be missed in the profession, but I have a feeling you will always keep one foot in the door.

Thank you for your service and leadership.

I wish you well in your retirement.

    Thank you Lorraine. And thank you for helping us with the OSLIS project, which as you know is still going strong. Alas, we need it more than ever with the disinvestment in our school libraries that is continuing. My best to you and Harry. I hope our paths will cross in the future.
