For a group of librarians, I think learning about the research process was almost as exciting as the story itself. Almost!

I'm sure you'll agree Jack provided an exceptional service to humankind by his relentless digging into hidden files and data in order to right a wrong. More importantly, he also had a loving and caring wife, Leslie, who believed in him and supported his quest(no matter the years) and who struggled through the hidden archives along with him, hour after hour and day after day when she could have easily stood by the sidelines and watched his struggles. Behind every successful man is a woman... Yes? Re: Jack Hamann and ‘American Soil’.

It sounds like Amy was a wonderful librarian. She provided the information that the patron needed, even though it may have been out of the normal realm of library operations. Although I never knew Amy Knapp, I have learned a little about her character from your blog post. As I am only a few months younger than Amy Knapp, her death reminds me of how precious life is.

That was Amy for you. She was a true inspiration to many of her students, colleagues and friends. She will be greatly missed, I can't imagine the University Library System (ULS) without her. I was deeply saddened to hear of her untimely death. I will always hold a special place for her in my heart. Tara, Great story! That was Amy for you.
