Greetings!

I am afraid that I have nothing sexy to send in response to your letter dated May, 2001. I am a relic of the days when the word “library” was not considered antideluvian and the “School of Information” was the School of Library Science.

I am proud to have been a student of William Warner Bishop and to have worked as an aide in his project on incanabula. There exists a reunion list which I helped to compile. Do current students know what “incanabula” means?

I had a most productive three-decade career as a General Electric librarian with skills I learned at Michigan. Now I am a 90-year-old curmudgeon, as you can tell from this letter.

Sincerely,

Samuel Sass
