Scott, thanks for the wonderful job you've done with this motly crew. I'll miss your quick responses, your quick and wonderful sense of humor, and your wise counsel on things Booksharian. Good luck on your new challenges. Let us hear from you from time to time. Alisa, you have great shoes to fill--or is it wheels to follow. You seem to have excellent credentials, so, naturally, we'll expect great things of you. Soon you'll dream about words like Kurzweil, Openbook and Jaws, and that never-ending question, "does this feel good in Braille?" As soon as you think you've begun to get it, someone on this list will mention elipses, and a ton of emails will prove we're all insane. But besides all that, we're pretty nice. So welcome aboard.

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. Warmest Regards to you both, Courtney On 12/9/11, Scott Rains <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
