AskDrake query

An AskDrake query re the relationship between Ted Williams, Tuscarora writer, and Peter Marchant, English professor here 1968-1992. Shared with questioner what I know, which isn't anything about their relationship, other than Williams said he had Marchant for a prof. Marchant was a very popular writing instructor, we've had different Tuscarora from the Lewiston reservation here over the years etc.

Dick Mancuso

Request from his widow for materials to use in scrapbooks to give her grandsons who were young when this physics prof died. I have some nice photos and materials, will scan and send to her.

Alumni House trees

Took a couple hours searching thru photo CDs, but found some aerial shots from a 2003 aerial shoot that showed Alumni House and the trees in back, three of which were cut down a couple years ago. This was for the project with the tree slabs etc.

Class of 1969

Just contacted by the alum of '69 heading up their 50th reunion. Wanted to know stats for the class and school then, where the yearbook is etc. Shared all that with him, offered to scan and crop images from the Saga and Stylus if they would like, for their memory book etc.

Dance 50th - videos on Digital Commons

I helped them with their 50th anniversary of the department this past year, and recently they sent me a video they did of their history. This was a good opportunity to try out Digital Commons new capacity to host video. I uploaded the 88mb mp4 file like you would a pdf, filled in the form, and it worked pretty easily: https://digitalcommons.brockport.edu/dns_archives/8/.
