My assumption is that you're not "retiring" retiring but rather moving out of librarianship and into the areas of writing and photography as you mentioned? And I don't think I ever got the pleasure of meeting you personally either (maybe at the Denver WAML Fall Meeting a couple of years ago?). Well, I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors, I know you were a regular contributor here on the list and thats a positive thing for our profession. Feel free to answer the following offline with me if you wish, but what's going to happen with the maps collection there at Central? I'm praying that they will simply re-hire for your position and keep it going for years to come! Stay well, safe travels, and continue to lurk here! Paige p.s. Ellensburg is just up the highway from my parents' home in Richland...
