Video of service & Tony's Alki articles

Thank you to all of those who were able to attend my dad's service yesterday, and to all those who reached out with kind words and remembrances. It was wonderful to see folks there, and touching to hear what my dad meant to everyone. For anyone who wasn't able to attend and would like to know how it was, there's a video here . A written copy of the service is here  . The slides that were shown during that part of the event are here .  I enjoyed rereading some of my dad's writings in Alki magazine recently, and his quotes in the service were taken from these:  Bibliographic Musings and the Metaphysics of Libraries, Part 1 Bibliographic Musings and the Metaphysicsof Libraries, Part 2 Libraries as Ritual Space Failed Innovations My dad took a lot of photos, especially once he started using digital cameras. He also was pretty consistent at labeling people. If you were with him at times when he was taking photos and you'd like to see them, please let me know at ben@amwil
