----------------------------Original message---------------------------- It gives me great pleasure {I lie a lot...} to announce that Mr. Christopher J.J. Thiry, late of The New York Public Library, Research Libraries, Map Division, has been appointed the Map Librarian at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado. Chris has been instrumental at New York Public Library in setting up and running our computer mapping workstation. Actually, it was set up by April Carlucci [and she reads Maps-l, even if she is in London, now at the British Museum Map Collection, thank you very much!] and Chris made it grow. We will miss Chris's computer expertise and inventiveness, not to mention his sense of humor, his ties, and his skill as a map librarian extraordinaire. Now if you guys can count, you know that leaves 2 of us here at the old NYPL watering hole...send your cards and letters of condolence to Nancy and Alice.
