Have been thinking of you and the gang at Culture and History since I heard the news on Friday.  Hope Randy Smith [he was two years behind me at Barboursville] and the Govs. wife enjoy their new Cafe!  One of the first lessons they teach you in Archives Management and Library School is that paper and food do not mix.

I remember the sign in James E. Morrow Library at Marshall University from my undergraduates days.  No Food in Library.  Food Results in Vermin Infestation!

Hope Fred sues their pants off!
