John Overholt (overholt@glammr.us)'s status on Friday, 08-Dec-2023 03:20:57 JST John Overholt I just spoke with a woman who years ago made a special appointment for me to show her daughter some things from the collection she was very interested in (back when we had a minimum age requirement of 18 in the reading room). Said daughter is now applying to colleges and cites that in her essay as a formative experience in wanting to study history. If you need me for the rest of the day, I will be on Cloud 9.
