BILL BROCK AND HOWARD BAKER, REUNITED By JAMES B. LLOYD SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LIBRARIAN
In the 1989-90 Development Re view article on the acquisition of the Howard Baker, Jr., Collection, I men tioned in passing that there was to be a project to interview Baker's friends and colleagues, but that those plans had not yet been finalized. When they were, they resulted in Dr. David Welborn of the Po litical Science Department, of the Uni versity of Tennessee, Knoxville, embarking on a sideline that continues to occupy him to this day, the Howard Baker History Project. I, of course, wished David Godspeed, and pointed out to him when he set out to interview Left to right-Chancellor Bill Snyder, Senator Bill Brock, Dean Paula Kaufman, President those friends and colleagues, that in his Joe Johnson , and Frank Brock. travels he would surely talk to other indi viduals whose papers we might want. since I've noticed that the world does not We notified Dr. Joe Johnson of these This would be especially true if they fit exactly salute whenever I ask. developments, and he renewed his efforts with the Baker Collection, since related Nevertheless, one is always hopeful. with Senator Brock, which no doubt fa collections, from a researcher's point of After several weeks had passed, however, cilitated the subsequent events.

I was not privy to exactly what had been done by whom since then, but given the predilections of Walter Lam bert, our longtime representative at the federal level, I was pretty sure that Sena tor Brock had periodically been reminded of the University's interest. The Dean, Paula Kaufman, and I discussed how to proceed, and the upshot was that I wrote Left to right Senator Brock reminding him once again Bill Cloud, that The Libraries would be a proper Fred Stone, home for the papers documenting his Jeanne Barkley, public career.

The next step, after the thanks, con gratulations, and public announcements, of course, was to get the collection ar ranged and described. This part of the process fell into place neatly, since the University was kind enough to provide funding and one of the staff of Special Collections, Terri Basler, had just com pleted her masters in information science and was ready for a professional position. We executed a one-year contract, and she began to process the Bill Brock pa pers on the first of May. Meanwhile, plans were being laid by the University administration to have an event to celebrate the Senator's gift and to offer our thanks. Chancellor Snyder volunteered the use of his house, and on June 16th we had a reception there to honor the Senator and such members of his family as could be there. About seventy

At four o'clock they go in to dance and have drinks, where they meet Miss Russell and Miss F, and they all get their first look at Miss Surrey, who must be the person de scribed by Agee as the woman whose "perpetually surprised face was that which appears in eighteenth century porno graphic engravings." She has a nice figure as well, and Via does not care for her. This dance merges with the descrip tion of the dance that evening, after which Via relates that she and Evans met the two Washington women on deck about two, thus making it plain that whatever their plans at the outset, Via and Evans are not pretending not to know each other, and, indeed, neither is Agee, since the purser asks Via later about her (Above) Agee's home on two friends.

11 A SEnLER'S STORY: THE TURNLEY FAMILY PAPERS By JAMIE SUE LINDER SENIOR ASSISTANT, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
This year the Special Collections Li brary was fortunate to add to its docu mentary material an extensive manuscript collection relating to the Turnley family, important early settlers of east Tennessee. The Turnley Collec tion is a virtual scrapbook of life, scat tered pieces of paper bound together by time. All material housed in Special Col lections are "special," hence the name Special Collections. However, it is not often that original, personal effects dat ing back to 1763 are so complete and span such a large number of years that one can really get to know a family whose members came from Wales in the 1600s, fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and many other battles be fore and after, struggled with Indians for TURNL·KY SWIMMING TIm TENN]i~SSEE'RIVJm:WI'l'H HIS HORSE existence, settled new territory, and built entire communities complete with saw Turnley traveled three days after crossing the Tennessee River to deliver his letter from the Governor to mills, post offices, and general stores. the Cherokee chiefs and warriors.
