While in college I had the good fortune to work at Mann Library as a part time student worker and later for 38 years as a staff person. Ginny was my wonderfully considerate boss and supervisor at the outset. She was both generous and compassionate and a great influence for me and many others.

I greatly appreciate the high standards she set as a supervisor, standards which I later applied with great success as Coordinator of the Mann Library Computing Centers.
