“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.” ~ Goethe
Some time ago I started forgetting things. So, I write things down. Now, I’ve started to forget the things I write down. Ruth Bryan and I were scheduled to represent Special Collections at a roundtable of museums, libraries, and other institutions interested in boosting Lexington’s historic tourism. Thirty minutes before we were supposed to be there, Ruth appeared in my office door. She, too, had forgotten, which made me feel marginally better. Who should be seated next to us at the event but friend and mentor extraordinaire, Becky Ryder. It made for a lovely afternoon, despite nearly forgetting to be there. Plus, we met new people and laughed a lot. I’m glad Ruth remembered so we didn’t miss out on the fun.
