Scott, Thank you so much for the truly excellent work you've done with Bookshare. I appreciated so very much, on the several ocasions we had private communication, your swift, professional and nonjudgmental responses to my various troubles. I wish you the best and greatest things in the future. And Alissa, welcome to the volunteer community! You've done some incredible volunteer work with some disadvantaged communities that interest me a great deal, particularly the Unified District of Oakland. That entire community has always seemed one of the most disadvantaged yet reziliant I've ever encountered. They're like the gladiator whose motto was the fight isn't over until you've won. I look forward to seeing how your experiences will further the goals of Bookshare, and believe, pondering on the core skills necessary for the sort of work you've done with large groups that you will bring great things to the community.
