Wishing the best for Marjorie Jackson
Marjorie Jackson, manager of the Library & Learning Resource Center, retired in January after 19 years of service at the Texas Heart Institute. She was sent off with kind words from Drs. Cooley, Willerson, and Hogan; 19 roses; and heart-felt good wishes from her many colleagues and friends at a reception in The Ansary Atrium. Marjorie oversaw the expansion of the L&LRC's space, collection, and computer network for the move to The Denton A. Cooley Building. She was also responsible for acquiring remote access to HAM-TMC resources for THI employees. In addition, she shepherded hundreds of medical students, fellows, and residents during their time at THI. We wish Marjorie well in her new adventures as we welcome Sonya Fogg into her new role as manager of the L&LRC.
