I want to thank everyone for attending my surprise library “retirement” party on Friday evening September 16 at the Old Forge Library.
Special thanks to Izzie Worthen, who planned it all, and the Board of Trustees and Friends of the Library who honored me with the addition of a beautiful, custom-made wooden and glass archive case for the Adirondack Room.
My head is still spinning with the shock of seeing so many friends, colleagues, and family standing in that room staring at me with big smiles—as I walked in thinking I was going to be working on a project with Izzie.
I was speechless when they all cried out, “Surprise!”
For me? But why? It was completely unexpected and I am still at a loss for words. Thank you all.
Carol Hansen, Thendara
