Dick,
Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings...and maybe this is
already
known but I'd missed it...
Former ASIST & SLA president Jim Cretsos died August
4th.
His obit and memorial information just came out in the
Cincinnati
Enquirer today (10/26). He apparently passed away August
4th, and the
family held a private ceremony on August 9th. The
information in
today's paper notes an upcoming memorial service in North
Carolina
this Saturday, October 28th.
There are obviously a <lot> of ASIST folks who can
praise and honor
Jim 'way better than I can, even though I've known him my
whole
professional life (back to '78). You didn't always agree
with him,
but you couldn't help respecting and admiring him for his
drive in
what he believed in.
Anyway, here's the URL to the Enquirer's information:

Failure isn't the falling down, it's the not getting up
again.
