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.

You will be missed!

Hi Jim,
I always find myself waiting until the last minute to say good-bye to people I really care about.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you as a member of the Library Board.  You taught me a great deal by example as well as by sharing so much good information to help me do my job on the board.  Your dedication to accessibility made a huge difference for me.  I am extremely sad to see you go, but at the same time, I hope you have a marvelous time in retirement!  I will always think of you when a new piece of technology comes out.
Warmest Regards,
Richard

  1. Richard, I owe a great deal of thanks to you for your service on the State Library Board. It will hard for the Board to see you finish your second term in 2012. I hope you will help the Board find an excellent replacement who can be an advocate for TBABS as you have been. All the best to you and Carol. I hope our paths will cross in the future.
