It is good to hear from you, Linda. I fondly remember when you occasionally stopped by at the Geography and Map Library in the Student Building. I was glad to see you again at the GSIS meeting in Indianapolis in October 2018. I liked your program about geospatial information--the one you presented as part of Geoscience Librarianship 101. Thanks for all your years of service to GSIS and the map librarian community. I always enjoyed your posts to MAPS-L and hope to read additional ones in the future. Take good care of yourself!
