However, the threat _today,_ of 1400, or is it 4000, layoffs of Wisconsin government workers may well threaten, as I very precisely delineated, the _American Geographical Society Library_ and the _History of Cartography Project_. Sometimes government policy has a direct effect on human beings and on culture, both of which are aspects of these two organizations we are all, or some of us, are grateful for. In both cases, letters and donations from their colleagues, friends and new supporters, for example, might be critical in the near future. Alice C.

How are you all in Madison [History of Cartography project] and Milwaukee [AGSL]? Anything you need us to do -- write emails, letters, send checks, offer prayers, come and demonstrate, boycott cheese, send congratulatory messages to Gov. Walker on the fine job he is doing? How can we help? Alice C. Hudson [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
