Jim Leisy Jr? Did he ever work there?
Peggy, he worked at Brooks/Cole, not Wadsworth. But I saw a few other B/C people here, such as Micky Lawler, so I thought it was appropriate to include him -- ?? Sally Schuman (B/C and Wadsworth). Up to the webmaster though!
Anyone who worked at any of the Wadsworth companies, for any period of time, and is no longer with us should on this list. Jim Leisy, Jr. is now on the list.
We should add Arthur Weber (international), Claire Verduin (b/c), and Lisa Gebo (b/c). Thanks.
Add Al Bruckner, Mark McFarland
Rick Cook and Lesley Wedderspoon
That Wawey 101 comment above was really from me. Wawey (whoever that is) must have been signed on to Google. I'm using a different computer than I normally do. Oh dear.
