I searched the archives to find the post that appeared on May 25, at the
start of a very busy weekend for me. I had briefly noted a short comment
in Kathleen Bruce's post "list volunteers" which I have been thinking
about and meaning to comment on:
<Dear All, I wanted to let you know that Kathleen Auerbach has retired
from Lactnet as listmother. She began this list with me, in 1995, and
worked
with us here for many years, administering the list and advocating for
you, the subscribers, and for the many breastfeeding mothers who were
touched by
you all, as a result of our volunteer work.
If you wish to thank her for her good work, she is at
[log in to unmask] Thank you Kathy, and hats off to a lifetime of
meaningful achievement in the breastfeeding world, and specifically in
the
online breastfeeding education world.>
I want to express personally to Kathy Auerbach my deep gratitude and
respect for all she has done for the LC profession with her vision,
nurturing guidance, inspiration, literary endeavors too numerous to
count, and not the least of all for her "doulaing" of Lactnet.
I became absolutely "hooked" on it when I finally got a computer. It has
provided me a brand of intellectual companionship rare in this world,
accessible 24 hours a day, and brought me many hours of solace and
meaningful dialogue as I made my personal transition from wifehood to
widowhood.
It has enabled me to "connect and become friends with" many fascinating
kindred spirits all over the world, and I want to publicly thank Kathy A.
(and all the other listmothers) from the bottom of my heart.
I am a better, more informed (and happier) LC because of your efforts. I
salute you.
Jean
