I only now learned of Dr. Vavrek's passing. I never met him in person, but spoke with him many times on the phone and he was my principal source of inspiration and help on my masters thesis about Ohio bookmobile programs and their use by homeschoolers while I was at KSUSLIS. He later published a version of the paper in the publication of his Center for Rural Librarianship. The folks at the Portage County District Library's bookmobile program held him in high regard. As they say in Spanish, Que En Paz Descanse (QEPD).
