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.

congratulations and best wishes

Jim,
I just want to wish you a long and happy retirement. Your work in COSLA for Talking Books and e-books will be a lasting legacy. Many people across the country will benefit for a long time in the future. We will certainly miss you!

    Thanks Wayne. Your predecessor Jim Nelson was one of the first state librarians to welcome me to COSLA. It's been a pleasure working with you both. Keep up the good work. See you at the COSLA reunion in 2013!
