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.

Thanks for your service!

Congratulations on a fine career! Oregon is so much better for it.

I saw the photos--are you going to grow that beard out again??

Cheers,

  1. Thanks Kristy. No, no beard. Don't want to be mistaken for Santa.

    You keep up the good work at Oregon Humanities, especially in helping our wonderful poets laureate. What a great pleasure it has been to work with Lawson Inada and now Paulann Petersen.

    I hope to be able to work with you and your fine organization on the William Stafford Centennial in 2014. We are planning a great statewide celebration!
