Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2013 13:26:21 -0400 From: David Cobb <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> Gary was a "one of a kind" in the federal government - someone who understood there was a world outside of the government and Washington. He recognized the value of libraries to enhance and disseminate cartographic information and he went out of his way to include libraries as partners and was a real friend of map libraries and a great friend to many map librarians. He was a good man and will be missed but we will still have the many memories of someone who cared.
