The IB History Department faculty at Richard Montgomery High School offers it congratulations. Sounds like an exciting opportunity.

How better to know what my son is thinking about, accomplishing and planning to do without constantly disturbing him. Congratulations on the new position and I also look forward to seeing what you are going to do with it! I just want to let you know that I still read your blog regularly…even after all these years.

We're all really excited about (finally) having someone who is charged with the task of getting all of our 'digital cats' herded in the same direction. We've got such a wide range of opportunities that merely having someone who is knowledgeable about all of them and can give those of us in the trenches some guidance and perspective will be a great thing. I look forward to meeting you and talking... at length! Welcome to NYPL!

I look forward to seeing you exert your presence. In many ways, NYPL can sometimes function like a big bureaucracy. There will definitely be times where your level of frustration will rise. When that happens, get up and walk through the stacks. You'll discover why so many of us have worked at this place for decades: It's hard not to love it once you get to know it. I wish you the best of luck! Hi Josh, and welcome to NYPL. I look forward to seeing you exert your presence.
