As a student with summer jobs in the archive (yes, I recognise that picture of the old archive!), David was unfailingly helpful and supportive. I still remember those summers very fondly - Alison, David, Colin and everyone else in the Laing Street building.

He has been unfailingly generous and thoughtful. And this past year, when I preparing an edition of GMB's Christmas stories, he even went into the library to find a few stories that I no longer had access to because of the pandemic. Thank you, thank you, David.<br /><br />Bill Peterson<br />(Washington, D.C.)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603625375014390687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230503213872645559.post-5576404282375683662021-01-17T13:06:04.435+00:002021-01-17T13:06:04.435+00:00Wishing you a Fonds farewell, David.

Having worked in the Archives at Michigan State University when I was a student there, and the leader retired, I know what your co-workers are feeling. They wish you well, of course, and will miss you for a long time to come. But here's to a happy retirement, and many years of fun new things for you to find out about!GenKnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968867557397120634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230503213872645559.post-81481922533436402402021-01-15T18:54:51.800+00:002021-01-15T18:54:51.800+00:00David, thank you very much for all your help, espe...David, thank you very much for all your help, especially your prompt replies when the archive was closed last year.<br />Patricia Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036045255661492382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230503213872645559.post-41798647852521930282021-01-15T11:05:41.621+00:002021-01-15T11:05:41.621+00:00Great working with you David - all the best for yo...Great working with you David - all the best for your retirement.
