Congratulations on the full-time job,, Jake!  That's wonderfull!  I think we 
all feel a bit sad when our college days are behind us.  Old friends 
scatter, but these days it is easy to keep in touch.

Best regards,

Sue S.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for asking. Yes, I've graduated this year, or rather will in August. 
It's a bit wacky to think about because the commencement ceremony was in 
May, but I had to finish with two summer school classes. Those classes are 
both over, but I won't technically graduate until the summer semester ends 
in August. I will miss going to school, but I will enjoy having a bit more 
free time. Perhaps after the fall semester I will begin taking a class per 
semester.

My full time work with Bookshare.org will begin in a week, which is just two 
weeks after my 4 year anniversary as a member/volunteer. It will be odd not 
going to college, but at least Bookshare.org isn't going away, smile.

Jake

update. Yep you guessed it, Bookshare.org now has more than 39,000 books! Go

    Hi, everybody. Have you all noticed how smoothly things are running this 
week, even though Bookshare staff are traveling for the conventions? 
Remember how everything used to totally shut down during convention week and 
for most of the beginning of July? No new books, no customer support, and no 
communication. Wow! I am impressed this year. Lisa, Carrie,  and the rest of 
the staff have been working hard so that our service isn't interrupted while 
they do the conventions. Thanks too all of you for keeping things going. 
(big smile) What a wonderful Independence Day gift to wake up to 45 new 
books in the collection.
