Good personal news arrived from Janine Henri (Architecture and Planning Library, University of Texas at Austin). "My son, Geoffrey Kumar Sanford, became an Eagle Scout in April. His Eagle Project was a mural in his High School Library which features a purple jaguar (the school's mascot) in the center sitting on Mayan Ruins, surrounded by a jungle scene featuring both rain forest fauna and a few Texas critters. My husband (who's still undergoing chemotherapy) was well enough to come home for Thanksgiving so Geoffrey's Eagle Scout Court of Honor was finally held on Saturday November 27 in Zilker Park. It was a gloriously sunny day!" Janine also attended the ARLIS/Mountain West Chapter meeting recently. Her report appears later in this newsletter.
