Re: Thanks for All Your Help

[Karen Johnson <johnsonka@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Barbara,

We should be thanking you.  You have given a lot of service to the IUG over 
the years.  You have always been ready, willing and able to do anything and 
everything in support of this group.  You served two terms  on the IUG 
Steering Committee, first as Member at Large and then as Treasurer.  You 
received the coveted (and only) Great Fiscal Management award at IUG 10 in 
Houston.  Even when you no longer held office, you were always around to 
help stuff bags and lend moral support.

On a personal note, I remember that you were the first person that welcomed 
me and took me under your wing when we first purchased our Innovative 
system.  I knew USD had Innovative and I saw your name tag at an ALA in San 
Francisco and introduced myself.  Instead of blowing me off, you invited me 
to lunch.  This led to many future lunches--the last (at Midwinter in San 
Diego) of which was quite similar to the first--perched on stools at a 
Sports Bar. You also gave me lots of useful information and advice when we 
were considering participation in the LinkPlus (INN-Reach) 
consortium.  Your experiences with San Diego Circuit were very helpful to 
me.  I'm sure many others have benefited from your kindness and generosity.

Those folks in the airports in Florida will be in very good hands.

Sincerely,

Karen Johnson
IUG Past Chair
