Dinner at ALA

One more thing about ALA. One of the fun things about it is that you get to see friends in the business. This one was especially good because I was able to meet up with Daniel Mattes who I only get to see at ALA. Last year in New Orleans Steve Ostrem and I had dinner with him and now we all, along with Cely and some others met up again. This time for Thai food. Daniel is the library director at the Universidad Anáhuac in Mexico City. We met up with some other friends from Iowa, Maine and Florida. I guess we covered North America pretty well. Have to make friends with someone from Canada. That's (clockwise from bottom left, Jonathan Miller, Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida; Jim Elmborg, Director ot the University of Iowa Library School; me; Cely; Steve, University of Iowa Libraries; Daniel; Jim's wife Ann; and Sue O'Dell from Bowdoin College. By the way, Sue's husband, Tim has a second CD out, Ancient Pines , its very good. Tim plays saxophone and does so very well.
