Dear Alice;

There is that old saying that things happen in threes -- first David Cobb retires, then Mary Larsgaard, and now you!  So much experience stepping down after so many years of service to the community, the nation, and the entire map world.  Thanks for all you have done to establish the importance of map collections.  I hope you enjoy your well deserved rocking chair, and continue to share your knowledge in ways you enjoy.  All of the best to you, and to Matt and Nancy as they continue preserving and promoting the wonderful map collections at NYPL.

Sincerely,

Dawn Youngblood, PhD
Curator, Edwin J. Foscue Map Library

July 17, 2009 was my last day at NYPL, having retired after 30+ years. A
great team remains and continues, as in the past, to lead the Division
forward, led by Matt Knutzen and Nancy Kandoian. Watch for news about
future appointments, etc. in this space, errr, on maps-l, maphist, etc.

My new email address is [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

My gameplan now is to finish off my forthcoming exhibition, to finish
teaching the map librarianship course over the next three Saturdays here
at NYPL, and to begin thinking about a blog, website, etc. related to a
long term project on the history, and a directory, to the map trade in
New York City before 1900. And yes, I am ordering a rocking chair!
