I am so sadden by this state of affairs. James Henri supported my
membership into IASL way back in 2007 under the support a member
initiative. I vividly remember during dinner at ALEXANDER Palace Hotel in
Abano Terme,Italy in September 2009 when he handed over to me the 2008 Ken
Haycock Leadership award to me. His humility and sense of humor is
subservient none. Our prayers are with the entire family and friends.

Those of you not on Facebook or OZTL-net may be unaware that James
Henri, a past president of IASL, is now in palliative care following a long
illness.
Beyond his work as a professor of school librarianship, James is a
long-time supporter of literacy initiatives in Australia, Hong Kong, China,
and beyond.
His children are posting updates and memories on James's Facebook page.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carmelita, their children,
and grandchildren during this difficult time.
