[Nfbwv-talk] Appreciation for Terry Mathenny

Wed May 25 18:48:54 UTC 2016

Congratulations to you both on this new venture in your lives.  
We look forward to hearing about what you are doing on our 
Braille Literacy concerence calls and we're so glad that you want 
to continue to be a part of our division.  The two of you have 
been an inspiration and an asset to the NFBWV for many years, and 
although you're leaving the state, you're not far away and we'll 
meet regularly every three months.
Karen

Sheri,

Teri has been a real help to Barb and I.  She may have been the 
one who had
to "put up" with my strange book requests such as, "Can you find 
a book
about snake handling churches?" Of course, she along with her 
co-workers
came through.  Thank you Teri.
We have news.  We sold our property and will be moving both the 
mission and
us to Grayson, Ky the weekend of July 23.
 Don't panic, Saturday meeting still on at 5214 MacCorkle SW in 
South
Charleston.  Don't know KY address yet, but will be living in 
married student
apt.  block with office and work area in newly donated mission's 
emphasis
building at Kentucky Christian University.  Will have 5000 square 
feet of
8000 square foot building for braille mission after remodeling.  
And yes, in
the midst of this Barb and I are going to national Convention in 
Orlando.
We'll only be a little West of Huntington just off of I-64.

Mike

 Hi Sheri!

 Sounds great to me.  Go ahead and send it and I'll give it a go.

 I have recalled her telling me she started in 1975, so that 
means I was
twelve.  Guess I was off by a couple years, but don't tell 
anyone.  *lol*

 Cheers,
 Dave

 We also might consider nominating her for the non-Federationist 
of the
year award.  I'll be glad to send you the language if you're 
interested in
writing it up and submitting it to the awards committee.

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

 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
