[Publib] RE: Dewey or LC

[Robert Balliot]

Small world. I worked for the architect, Leslie Boney that designed the
Walter Royal Davis Library
at UNC (with Mitchell Giurgola) in the 80's.  I recall coloring in the flat
roof plans for the Davis Library
after the membrane failed - yesterday's  version of a virtual interface.

All I can say is, He's Not Here  :)
