ANDERSON, Rick

The becomingly modest thing to say would be "you probably don't remember me," but in fact I think there's a good chance you do. In the early 1970s, when I was between the ages of seven and eleven or so, I was a regular visitor to the children's room located in the basement of the Dallin Branch of Robbins Library in Arlington, MA, where you were the children's librarian. I want to take this chance to thank you publicly for your kindness, your patience, and your help. You significantly shaped my idea of what a librarian should be like, and I will always remember you and be grateful.
