FAREWELL TO JAMES JONES

We are sad to say 'goodbye' to James Jones who has been with ESLARP/NTAC
for the past 2 years. While James will still be in town and connected, 
this is a huge loss for ESLARP.  He has been of tremendous help to ESLARP, 
NTAC and invaluable to ESL CAN. James will be Program Manager for Emerson 
Park's Youth Build program. We are confident he will serve Youth Build as 
well as he did ESLARP.  Good luck James!
