In memory of John Thodos, 1934-2009

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and advocate John Thodos on November 16, 2009. John was appointed to the Harrison Memorial Library Board of Trustees in 2007. He brought a fresh voice and vibrant ideas to the Board. We will miss him.
