Judy Sackett and I wrote an article in 2016 that was featured in the journal, Kentucky Libraries. Lo and behold, it was awarded Most Outstanding Feature Article, and today, we accepted our prize at the annual Kentucky Libraries Association (KLA) conference luncheon. Judy called it our “major award,” then asked to see the leg lamp (if you’re not familiar with Christmas Story that joke will make no sense). Henceforth, it is known as our major award with complete respect. Though we didn’t get leg lamps, we got very nice personalized plaques, and Robin Harris, who introduced us, gave us a glowing introduction. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Judy. We have so much fun together. It’s really fantastic to share this professional acknowledgement with her. As we say in the band, “We do not suck.”

    I think the article was titled “Straight for the Horse’s Mouth: Accessing Oral History at the University of KY.” It’s the feature in Vol. 80 published in 2016.
