19th c. black families

Interesting thread via Bill Andrews, someone suggesting that another black student was here same time as Fannie, her cousin, an Eva White? I did eventually see an Eva B. White registered for Sept. 1872, after Fannie. Eva is supposed to be a daughter of a sister of Fannie's mother Harriet who lived with them. There is a mention in Hendrick's book about a couple of relatives of Harriet's living with them, not much more. There seems to be some connection to the Page family as well.

Very good subject for a student intern, to research the black families of 19th century Brockport.

Lennon - Daily Eagle posts

This is neat, I posted in Daily Eagle today about Prof. Lennon's old house being for sale, some bio on him etc., and Mark Noll from Earth Science emailed saying he was intrigued by Lennon's story, and wanted more info, that perhaps they could start commemorating him on his birthday or something along those lines.

Photo scanning guidelines

Kim Myers brought a prof around from Plattsburgh recently, curious about the book scanner etc. I talked to her a bit, and she has emailed me with some questions re scanning photo practices, dpi etc. Will share some basic suggestions with her, from my exp won thru trial and error!

2 photo requests

Two separate requests, one re a Dr Matters commemorated in a room in Alumni House, the other for a headshot of a football player from '83.

Special Olympics athlete

Got a query recently from someone whose husband was an athlete in the SO here in '79. He was from NY, and she was looking for photos. Somewhat to my surprise, I discovered that while we have files of photos for some various states and countries, we don't have one for NY. Recommended she contact the NY Special Olympics folks, gave her contact info.
