Al Brown - John Halstead
President Halstead called me, a bit of a surprise, asking some info on Al Brown for a letter he was writing to Brown. Found the info and called him back.
Gerry D'Agostino
John Follaco needed images of him in his football coach days (ca1967-73) for flyers etc. for an event. Dug around, found some negatives, scanned, sent to him.

Kaleidoscope
John McMahon came by, K'scope is moving online, I may have a column/page in it. For next issue, he needs 10-15 images of the '80s & '90s for the "do you remember...?" feature.
English Club - Jigsaw
Daniel Duval from the club contacted me and we met, about digitizing past issues of the club publication. I need to talk to Kim, and then him, the club president Alma etc. It sounds like Kim is setting up a club site on the DC, need to talk to her about copyright issues re previous editions...
Morgan Manning House & Guelf
Went to MMH this morning, after having emailed with Patty T. about the possibility of some Guelf materials still being there. It turned out they did still have a box. I went over and met with her and Alicia Fink (who it turned out taught in the Peace Corps program here later '60s). Enjoyable meeting, informative, and I have brought the materials here for study.
Alicia also invited me to serve on their board, which I said I would be happy to do. My name will be put forward at their next meeting. It could be a way to liaise between the different history groups in town.

George Guelf materials ?
The missing materials once held at the Morgan Manning House of local photographer George Guelf (took the pictures for the 1913 All Brockport supplement etc.) may have been discovered. Am going to meet two people there Wednesday. I had asked Patty Good who is now on their board about them, she and another person looked, and think they may have located them. It was a significant collection once - a camera, notebooks of photo shoots etc.
St James Episcopal - Batavia
Was contacted by a member, they are working on their bicentennial and have questions about archiving, student interns etc. Have sent initial reply, will follow up, suggest resources, check with Bruce re public history students...
