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 on your retirement!

Dear Jim,


My years as OLA President were made so much easier due to your wise counsel. Thank you for keeping your reports short (you always reported on just 3 things!) and your career long. You accomplished so much because of your passion for books and libraries. We are truly in your debt. Enjoy your retirement, you earned it!


All the best,

Connie

    Thanks so much Connie. What a pleasure working with you in OLA. We all appreciated your outstanding leadership in the Association. And as an added bonus, it was always fun talking to your husband about bass guitars and the music of our youth. Please stay in touch Connie.
