Re: Photograph Cataloging?
Funny, baby. She poses a good question but seems to not much trust her
prof., I wonder how folks will respond. I mean, lots of archivists DO
"shove em in a box" but not all, dumb response. No wonder Ill. wants me.
I have a headache and I want to go for a walk in the woods and I want to do
somethin gfun tonight - bookstore, a movie, something different!!

restlessly yours
