State Librarian Jim Scheppke leaves a lasting legacy
by Barbara Curtin
Statesman Journal, Oct. 13, 2011
To celebrate Jim Scheppke's service as Oregon State Librarian from 1991 to 2011
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.
