I hope you can transfer to a job in the Cincinnati public library system. ----- Original Message ----- From: "pacovey" <misscat@xxxxxxxx> To: "optacon" <optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 5:26 PM Subject: [optacon-l] From Peggy Covey > My job in Library for the Blind in cincinnati will be ending as of june > 30.
