Quotes from WizardMarks followed by RESPONSES FROM VICKY:

"Some of the best people we have at MPL are not willing to take on this
challenge at this point in their lives. Others are totally swamped with
the work they are presently doing and may not have taken the time to
apply."

VH - HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?

"Simultaneously, we are embarking on a grand adventure of
a new library and facing the information needs of a new century."

VH - THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE IN ON THE INTERNET.  YOU CAN BUY AN INTERNET
READY COMPUTER SYSTEM AT WAL-MART.COM FOR $399.72.

"I'd be willing to bet that the board is looking for someone from outside
who has the compare and contrast experience to lead at this juncture.  An
outsider has the advantage of not knowing the system and therefore having
to ask many, many, many questions."

VH - THIS COULD ALSO BE CALLED A VERY EXPENSIVE LEARNING CURVE.

"What would be good to have to carry through would be stellar leadership
capability (and self-ruthless time management and delegation skills)."

VH - DO WE HAVE ANY SUCH LEADERS IN MINNEAPOLIS?  I MIGHT BE WILLING TO PAY
EXTRA IF WE COULD ACTUALLY FIND ONE.
