Re: Holiday



Subject: Re: Holiday

I must confess that earlier today I approached these many holiday messages
from archival skeleton crews with a bit of "humbug,' but now at 3:30 as the
snow disperses and the sun settles across the mighty Delaware River (my
fortunate office view) I do feel something warming...akin to, maybe, "a
thousand points of archivists' lights" as we all gently signal one another
from across the globe.  Solitary lighthouse keepers.

We archivists are a unique and honorable (if somewhat nutty) breed.  I am
proud to count myself among you all!  Best wishes from Philadelphia, PA,
USA.

"...and to all a good night!"
