Dear Heidi, I speak for myself (and I'm sure many others!), when I say THANK YOU is not nearly enough for all of the tremendous work you have done - for AJL and Judaica librarianship and cataloging and digital humanities and so much more! You were one of the first people I met when I joined AJL - you welcomed me warmly and never hesitated to answer my (sometimes very convoluted) questions around cataloging and metadata.
I'd love to say you should never retire, but since you very much deserve it, I want to wish you, a very happy and fulfilling retirement, and I warn you that I will continue to be in touch :) My very best, Michelle Michelle Margolis Chesner Norman E.
