I couldn’t resist passing along Bill Clark’s column from today’s Columbia Daily Tribune (link: http://www.columbiatribune.com/2006/Jun/20060628Feat001.asp). Bill Clark recognizes and praises the archives staff at the University of Missouri, particularly Kris Anstine, who he calls “the person who normally answers the phone at the University of Missouri’s archives office and fields the questions from folks like Ol’ Clark who know just enough about history to be dangerous.”

 

A good read for a Friday morning!

"But what can a youthful adventurer, a mere individual, hope to accomplish for the benefit of virtue or the world? What! Almost anything he wills to undertake and dares to persevere in." -Eliphalet Nott, 1811
