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 Jim

I remember struggling to get our library automated and bring our copy write dates into the new era. With your guidance Jim, I have accomplished this. Being a Public/School library it is a win, win. The students are able to use an up to date library and our community has a public library which they are thrilled about. People do not always agreed on the issue at hand, so it amazed me how you would do everything you could to help once the path was set. This is a trait most people do not hold. Thank you, for all you have done for our little community and for me. Have a great retirement and LOTS of fun.

Best Wishes

Jan Bolton

    Thank you Jan. You have had to be very creative and resourceful to bring better library service to Spray. I really admire that. Keep it up. I hope to get out to Spray to check up on you one of these days, maybe with our friend Betsy.
