I think you have a good idea.  I'll share this with Mr.  Whereas 
since he's the resolutions guru in the state.

Subject: [Nfbwv-talk] Appreciation for Terry Mathenny

Hi all!

Have had a brain glitch lately.  That is a bit embarrassing for 
me, but guess
you olrder folks are more used to it so you'll understand.  I 
couldn't
remember my WV1A number, so  I got myself awake this morning 
before the
library closed yesterday and called to get a brain reboot.

These kinds of things almost always will lead me to Terry 
Mathenny, pardon
if I may be spelling her sirname incorrectly.

Anyway, we had a nice little chat, and she straightened out my 
number, so
all should be fine now in my brain department.

Terry asked what I was going to do when she retired.  I told her 
that better
just never happen, because I don't think that would be any good 
for my
sanity.  She said she definitely was planning to retire around 
the end of
this year.

Knowing that Terry is a state employee, I didn't want to ask for 
more
specifics, so I can't be sure if she meant the fiscal year or the 
calendar
year.  I hope neither, but I guess retirement is something we all 
go through.

I feel as if Terry has been part of the library since perhaps the 
world
started turning, because I know she's been there at least as long 
as I
started ordering books by myself.  From memory, I think I was 
ten, just so
yall can get the picture.

Anyway, it occurred to me that her longevity and remarkable 
service to us
might be a worthy topic for a resolution at the state convention 
this year.

Regardless of that, I thought it was news worth sharing here.

Cheers,
Dave
