Re: Death of Jon K. Reynolds, Georgetown Univ. Archivist



For those of you who followed the 1999 Finding Aids Fair, I would like to add
that Jon Reynolds created the web page that made the represented finding aids
available on the web.  I know that without his volunteering for this work the
page would not have been possible.  Speaking for myself, it was greatly
appreciated.
