1/3 Sadly I learned today that Jim Wolford, CEO of @AtomicData, has passed away. Jim was a great friend of my non-profit @StartReadingMPS, and many other philanthropic organizations. atomicdata.com/atomic-data-d…

Atomic Data is devastated by the unexpected death of CEO and co-owner Jim Wolford

With utter shock and grief, Atomic Data shared today that its CEO, co-founder, and co-owner of 22 years passed away suddenly at his home on May 5th.

For #GTMD22 we need to raise $10,000 to serve two new schools in north Minneapolis. Your gift of $50 will provide 10 free books to children in Minneapolis schools, enabling them to build their very own library and fight the 'summer slide'. startreadingnow.org/donate
