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.

Congratulation on Your Retirement!

Dear Jim,

Sorry, despite your wishes, (what else is new!) I will soon be sending a check enclosed in a Hallmark card for your favorite charity, Talking Books and Braille Services.

And for me, words can’t really express my gratitude for all you did and tried to do. And besides that - you were okay to work with.

Andy

Klamath County

    Thanks Andy. You weren't so bad yourself. You should be proud of having led your library to form a library district, when that was a lot easier to do (though I know it didn't seem that way at the time). Librarians in Klamath, Lake, Coos and Curry counties got ahead of the curve and formed districts that have prevented the terrible loss of quality library services that we have seen in other S. Oregon counties. Way to go!
