Our sincerest appreciation to J.B. Harmon who served as Tool Library Manager from Jan 2018 through Dec 2019. Between finding a full time job in mechanical engineering and beginning the search for his first home, J.B. no longer has the bandwidth to keep up with all the duties required of the Ballard Tool Library’s manager. We hope to see J.B. hanging around as “resident tinkerer” once he has settled in with his other commitments.
