In his autobiography, Library/Museum Director “A Time to Heal”, President Ford wrote: “Anyone who can make thirty-eight parachute jumps while serving as a Congressman has to be fairly calm and unflappable. And Jack was certainly that. But he was also a man of incredibly good judgment.” We will always be grateful for Jack’s leadership and guidance and our condolences to the Marsh family.

Several years ago, I took up gardening and still enjoy planning, planting, nurturing, re-arranging, trading, anticipating, watching things grow, pruning, ridding pests, and wedging dirt under my fingernails. It’s therapeutic. Working in a library, I find we are much like gardeners (and occasionally get just as dirty). We spend our days planning programs, nurturing young (and sometimes not so young) minds, watching our collections grow, and weeding materials from the stacks. For those of us who allow food and drink in our libraries, we sometimes even have to rid our buildings of pests! We’re now spending a few days in Grand Rapids, home of the lovely Meijer Gardens among other great amenities. I hope that you may take some time before or after the conference to visit some of the area museums and other attractions. Many are offering conference goers discounts on admission prices if we show our badges. (See page 5 for more details.) I wish to convey my gratitude to the many sponsors who have given so generously Michael McGuire to MLA. Their logos, sponsorship acknowledgments, and advertisements appear PRESIDENT, MICHIGAN LIBRARY throughout this program. Our conference would not be such a success without them. ASSOCIATION My thanks go to the staff of the Grand Rapids Public Library for hosting our All- 2005–2006 Conference Reception on Wednesday evening.
