The message below from Mary Larsgaard sure took the wind out my sails when
I received it this morning. I am one of those map catalogers who had the
pleasure to work with Nancy when I was still learning to catalog maps at
UGA back in the late 1980s. I also had the pleasure of meeting her at the
map cataloging pre-conference at the 1990 ALA Annual Conference. So, it is
with great sadness that I read Mary's message.
 
Mary, thank you very much for sharing this news with the map community. It
is deeply appreciated.
 
Sincerely,
