Retirement

Yup. I finally did it. I retired from Rockford Public Library. I began as a library page in 1964, worked at Rockford College Library with David Palmer in 1965 and 1966, went back to Rockford Public Library in 1967, worked at Rock Valley College Library, and went back to Rockford Public. I also worked for Rasmussen College Library briefly while getting my Masters from SLIS.
