Tess has informed me that there are a number of things that my memory appears to be faulty about regarding the Professor and his site. Notably, John Cropper saw the professor through his final illness and took over the site afterward. I recalled someone named Chris, but we think that this is Kris Bruland who has been handling the sale of the finished CDs. Apparently, I am mistaken about the Professor receiving any kind of financial help from the University of Arizona for the site. She shared with me the following memory of the Professor: "Once time on Ebay I saw that someone was trying to sell the material collected on the site for money and I wrote the prof and told him about it, thinking he would feel that he was being robbed. Not so, he said that they were always trying to do that and that it didn't matter to him, his idea being that all he was doing was meant to be shared by everyone even the baddies. What a good guy he was--a real teacher! I learned so much from him, and will always be grateful for his tutelage and patience."
I know we all remember him for all of his efforts to provide us with the wonderful gift of the Digital Archives. His good work lives on. Many thanks to Tess, as well, for her tireless scanning efforts. Devon - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
