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.

Best wishes and enjoy!


Hi Jim!

Seems appropriate to send my virtual congratulations to someone that I know only as a voice on the conference call phone!

The Library community and the people it serves will miss you. Thanks for all your contributions, and especially your involvement in helping our profession develop great new people to carry on the tradition.

Set a good example for us on how to be a successful retiree!

--Georgia Lomax,
Deputy Director and iSchool Advisory Board

    Thanks so much Georgia. I so enjoyed our iSchool Advisory Board meetings, even on the phone. That group consists of some of the smartest people I know. It was always very stimulating. Not to mention that the iSchool rocks! Keep up the good work.
