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.

Presentation on statistics

Jim:

Several years ago you did a presentation at an SDC workshop, I believe. I don’t remember year or place, but I remember being very impressed with the presentation; your knowledge, your sense of humor, your respect for the importance of collecting accurate data and using it to make a difference.

All best wishes on your retirement. –Edie Huffman, IN

    Thanks Edie. How nice of you to attend my party! You know I was an State Data Coordinator (SDC) in the late 1990s and was on the committee that developed the first "Federal State Cooperative System" (FSCS) to collect national public library data. I consider that to be a highlight of my career. I see a great future for this effort due to the fine work of all the SDCs and the strong commitment and leadership of IMLS. My best to you and to the Indiana State Library. My sister just relocated to Indianapolis, so I will probably be visiting your fair city before too long.
