It’s been fun being a tourist in downtown Lexington for the last two days. As an attendee of the Midwest Archives Conference at the Hilton, I had the chance to check out downtown during the weekdays. I have to say they’ve done a great job revitalizing Lexington’s downtown area.
Ginny
The city was bustling with people and traffic and food and archivists. I ran into many old friends at the conference like Ginny Daley. I’ve known Ginny for nearly thirty years, but we didn’t meet because of archives. We met through music when I joined a band with Ginny’s friend, Kiya Heartwood. They were both in Library school at the time. Ginny finished. Kiya dropped out, but not before working as a GA for my co-worker and conference buddy, Judy Sackett. I learned that Ginny had also worked with (or for, I don’t remember) Judy lo those many years ago. Back then I would have been the last person anyone would have figured to go into library work. It’s pretty entertaining how life turns out sometimes. One thing is certain, no matter where your path leads, this is a small, small world. I’m thrilled to be in it, and tickled that Ginny Daley is still my friend all these years later.
