Thank you for this. I have always had a yen for history. I think it was my mom's bodice ripper historical novels that I used to filch and read that got me started. The research came years later when I became a librarian and then, in retirement I had time to combine the two into projects that I have come to love.
What I should have said is that you were the conduit for those who came to the library. I am always so grateful to librarians I contact. They are always so kind and extend themselves to help others.
I really love this. It’s amazing how one teacher, one family story, or one unanswered question can open the door to a whole life of research and service. Thank you!

Sharon, I love hearing that you were a librarian! The keeper of knowledge and adventure!
Thank you Lisa. For me it is less about keeping and more about learning and teaching. It’s the connections that get me.
