1/3 Sadly I learned today that Jim Wolford, CEO of Atomic Data, has passed away. Jim was a great friend of my non-profit Start Reading Now, and many other philanthropic organizations. atomicdata.com/atomic-data-de…

It's @StartReadingNow book fair season! The smiles bring us so much joy. We're also thrilled to report that more than $15,000 has been raised for Start Reading Now in Jim Wolford's memory. A heartfelt thank you to all donors and supporters!!
