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.

Best Wishes!

Hi, Jim,


I just want you to know how honored I feel to know you and to have worked with you in furthering the interests of the Oregon library community. Your dedication, innovation, leadership skills and perseverance have made such an enormous impact during your tenure. And, your ability to carry this all off with kindness, even-handedness and a wicked sense of humor is just icing on the cake!


I wish you well in your retirement – I can't imagine that you won't still be a force in the library community in some capacity – I certainly hope so.


Supporting TBABS for my holiday charitable donation this year will be a pleasure.


Have fun,

Linda V. Malone
