Head Tale

I’m at the Saskatchewan Library Association Conference in Waskesiu right now.

It’s the 75th Anniversary of SLA and as part of the anniversary celebration, they have a photo album which includes this photo of me on a panel discussion at a previous SLA.

This would have been when I worked for the Sask Publishers Group.  I can’t remember for sure when this panel was or what the topic was but I think it might’ve been when I had to pinch hit for one of our publisher members who got sick and couldn’t appear on a panel about library collections so having only a few of his typed notes to go on, I faked my way through a presentation as best I could (I’m not presenting at this particular conference but I’d observe that some things never change and I still occasionally wing my way through presentations today.  On the other hand, some things do change – check out that hair!)

I recognize John Edgar on the panel who was likely representing RPL as their Collections Manager and would go on to be a colleague when I started at RPL then later, a patron I interacted with after he retired.

Unfortuantely, I don’t recognize the other two people on the panel.
