Yesterday--in my office staff meeting I heard a great story. One woman noted this was her second anniversary working here in the Library Administration office, and was asked to recount an event from the day before. We all attended a library fundraiser luncheon, and she was seated beside another long-time library employee from stacks management. They are of an age, and got talking. When the long-term employee mentioned her maiden name, my office mate realized this was a childhood playmate from 50 years ago. They lived in the same neighborhood and used to walk to elementary school together every day. She was alight when she told us this story.
