Transitions

This week has been a difficult one from many of us personally and for the organization, as events moved much more quickly with Tom's condition than we expected. I feel fortunate that I had a chance to visit with him the morning before he passed away. He was not alert, but I trust that he heard me, on some level, when I told him that we (CCPL) would miss him, but that we would be OK.

Thank all of you for your kind words of support in the past few days. Transitions such as this are difficult and we are facing lots of unknowns in the months to come. I trust and know that you will continue to work hard, do good work, and provide exemplary public service. I look forward to working with you.
