To celebrate Jim Scheppke's service as Oregon State Librarian from 1991 to 2011
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.

Retirement
Just a note to let you know that I personally subscribe to the joys of retirement. However, if you are like the rest of us, you will still have libraries at heart. I am like Mary Ginnane - love my introduction to the MAC. Guess who just got an IPad for her 80th birthday! Thank you for all you have done in the past for small Oregon libraries. They are worth celebrating. Enjoy!! Blythe Jorgensen

Blythe, how wonderful to hear from you! This validates the idea of a virtual retirement party -- getting to hear from old friends like you. I've never forgotten the wonderful job you did in developing the Toledo library into one of the best small public libraries in the state. My fondest wishes to you. I hope our paths cross someday.
