What's the occasion to party? The three persons seated below have a combined 75 years of service with JPL! We honored (l/r) Jim Burns' 13 years, Ed Lein's 27 years, and Valerie Evans' 35 years, at a well deserved party, June 27, 2014. Another long-timer, Lilia Simonton, Main Librarian, Sr., worked with these three employees over the years, and like many of us, came to wish all three the very best in years to come. (Ed will continue to line up some Music at Main programs part-time. Valerie and Jim will be full time retirees.) 
. 
All three received a beautiful rendering of the new Main Library like the one presented to Ed by his Supervisor Erica Brown. Valerie's, Ed's, and Jim's copies were signed by Director Gubbin, Deputy Directors Carolyn Williams and Mark Merritt--and every other employee who could get a chance to sign their individual copies. (Above Library Assistant Diane Alexander takes her turn to sign.)
You can read more about Valerie in the December 2013 Staff Profile and in an article about her being honored by the Library Board of Trustees, posted here, June 17. Ed was featured in the May 2014 Staff Profile, and Jim Burns was the subject for the July 2010 Staff Profile.
One More Time: GREAT JOB, VALERIE, ED, AND JIM!
