[SOA] OLSSI 2009

[OLSSI Chair]

*A few announcements regarding the 2009 Ohio Library Support Staff
Institute…*



1. We are proud to announce that our keynote speaker will be Jason Thomas,
Sergeant USMC, retired.  This brief note cannot do the man justice.  Mr.
Thomas received a number of awards for his search and rescue efforts at the
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.  He would become a subject of the
Oliver Stone film, *World Trade Center*, and he and his family would  appear
on a special two-hour episode of the television show, “Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition.”

2. Another addition to OLSSI’s Sunday night festivities will be James A.
Willis, author of the book *Weird Ohio*.  Mr. Willis will give a
presentation of the equipment he uses with his paranormal research and
investigation team, the *Ghosts of Ohio*.  He’ll then take all interested
outside for ghost tour of the Denison campus!

With the “Meet & Greet” reception at 5:00 PM, and dinner and opening
ceremonies at 6:00 PM, there’ll be plenty of time to show your Super-Self!  So
