[Publib] as a profession......loyalty?

[Lynne Ingersoll]

whom believed the director had a duty to "come down the stairs" and work the
Reference Desk.  Yay for them!

Ah, but Jim, how many directors who are a flight of stairs away from public
service areas actually go down those stairs and work with the front-line
staff?  <g>
