Clinton Drug Store 80 th Anniversary

Hi gang: I wanted to post this video about the Clinton Drug Store, that is celebrating 80 years of being in business, on Thursday, April 15, 2010. This video is from the news magazine of WBIR TV in Knoxville. The video aired April 9. WBIR apparently is not allowing the video to be downloaded to a hard drive. But I wanted to be able to save the link to it. Hope you find it interesting. It is a cool drugstore. judy g.

Pat Summitt's 1,000 Win Celebration on 2-5-09

Hi gang: I wanted to post a video of the celebration for Pat Summitt's 1,000 win on February 5, 2009 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The win was over the University of Georgia, 73-43. You may see a short advertising video clip first, then the scene will become the last few seconds of the ball game. There is about 20 seconds of no sound. Then, click on the little yellow triangle at the bottom of the video picture. The voice you hear is the public address announcer, Mike Hamilton.

the Hoosier Dome ending its era

Well, it has been sometime since I have posted to this blog. But, I wanted to preserve a clip from one of the Indianapolis TV stations. This video includes a time lapse of the Hoosier Dome and its roof deflating. Our "disposable stadium" of 24 years is being replaced by the new Lucas Oil Stadium.



Or listen to the Hoosier Dome say "goodbye"

Update on February 17, 2009: I went back to get a video from Indy Channel 8, WISH TV of the imploding of the Dome, done the Saturday before Christmas

Video clip of my license plate mentioned in my Christmas letter

I haven't posted to my blog for awhile. I do intend to get back to it to "fill in" things I have been doing in November of 2007, since retiring from CPRL. But, this post is made to include a video clip that I mentioned in my 2007 Christmas letter. It is taken from a web page from Indycar.com. It is the promotional TV video that was used this past racing season. It includes my license plate. I must give credit to my friend, James Staub, of TSLA for taking the web image and saving to a video clip for me. Season's Greetings everybody.

My "Wind Up" Day at CPRL this Halloween

Hello this Halloween evening. I wanted to take the time to share a few pictures with you from today. This was my final day as Regional Library Director as I am retiring. It also happened to be Halloween. At CPRL, some of us would dress up on Halloween, some not. For my costume, I thought it might be appropriate "to graduate from CPRL" today. So, I used my academic robe, Master's hood, and cap (used during my tenure at Huntington College as a faculty member).

Sharon King became a Chic-Fill-A cow today-- complete with udder and sign board.

We had a good day, enjoying each other's company at coffee break and other times during the day, while still getting work done. I just finished up a few odds and ends of things, wrote some emails of explanation, and backed up the "my documents" of the desktop computer. We had a former staff member, Ruth Rapier, drop by. And, I had some very nice phone calls from folks. The flowers are from Sharon Shotwell, who is our vendor representative for the McNaughton Book Leasing System.
I am going to give you a link to the flickr file here. It makes it easier to load and share pictures. They will be in a set of "Halloween and J.G. retirement day." I hope you enjoy seeing them. Just go to the link below and double click on the thumbnail of the flowers that says Halloween and J.G. retirement day http://www.flickr.com/photos/indyfanjudy/sets/

I wanted to share the fun time of my retirement party

Hi to all: I haven't posted to my blog for awhile. I wanted to take this time to share with folks pictures from the recent retirement dinner that was given in my honor. The Clinch-Powell staff did a great job organizing and pulling off the dinner. It was held at Harrison's Restaurant here in Clinton. It was on the evening of Thursday, October 11th. I want to share my thanks to them with you through this blog.
I will be ending my 21 year career here at Clinch-Powell Regional Library on Wednesday, October 31st. (Somehow I think Halloween Day might be an appropriate time to make as my last day in the office.) I am not leaving Clinton, so I will be running into folks now and then. There may be some other library-related activities in my future life, but I will share that later, if it comes to be.
With help from my computer good friend, James Staub, at TSLA, I am now able to share the photos of my retirement dinner. The photos will be in a set, where at the end of the set are photos taken by Julie Webb, of Knoxville. Julie is actively involved in the statewide Friends of Tennessee Libraries. I also included pictures of the wonderful gifts that folks were gracious to present me. The pictures of the pictures: these pictures were all mounted in a frame. The glass was off of the frame so that folks present at the party could sign the picture frame matting. It was a very cool present from the CPRL staff. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Double-click on the thumbnail on the left of the opening page in Flickr.
