David Witcher / Whitcher

A phone call, genealogy, travling, said they had been at Seymour and that they had been told we had microfilm records of the Clarkson Community Church? Interested in fellow named above, early settler, had a son born here ca1821. I'll look, not sure I have ever seen anything like that though...

Sarah C. Smith

Interesting query, this woman was a student here ca1870 and then later went to Japan to found Hokusei Gakuen University in Sapporo, Japan. A Jim Allison there is looking for info on her school years etc. Here is a Wikipedia article on the school and its founding.

I found her in the student register, the only entry I see is for 9/23/1872, Sarah C. Smith, from Painted Post (quite far!), # months taught 4, Presbyterian.

"The Fact" newsletter

Dick Barnhart '61 emailed inquiring if any copies of this survived. We do have 3 issues. I am going to have Candace scan them, and have asked if he has any info on date, names of students who did it to please let me know. It's a spoof underground newsletter, ca1960.

Special Olympics footage

Got email from her below - will check, but believe we do not have such footage, not digitized anyway.

Kara Baer and I work for the Dean of Health and Human Performance.  He has a presentation this Thursday on the Special Olympics and was hoping we could find some footage from when it was held here.  We do have some footage from ABC on a tape but we need it converted to a DVD player.  Sadly, when we tried to do so we ran into copyright infringement.  So we are hoping there is similar footage in the library.

Digitizing newspaper

   History grad student, asking about digitizing newspaper for a project. Have replied, asked how much she had etc. Her email is in archives folder in my email.

   She emailed back - wants to digitize some old Brockport Republics she has? Replied, said was microfilmed long ago and is now being digitized, asked if she could do something else perhaps.

Brockport - women - Civil War

Local history/archives question from a student - recommended Brockport Republic, Rochester History etc., plus offered to meet with her.

Guys & Dolls

Extensive back and forth with Judy Wade (Denio) '61 and others over last few weeks, including ermeriti Ralph Sisson, for this fall's homecoming and 50th reunion of '61. This was the class that did the 1961 European tour of Guys & Dolls.
