A patron came in on the weekend recently and received some help from the librarian on duty then, who referred them to me for further help. The patron was a student in the '50s, became friends with Karstetter who came back to Brockport to teach in the speech program c1955-1961. Karstetter also directed some plays. The patron is looking for photos from the plays, and we do have some for Finians Rainbow and the Death of a Salesman, and perhaps for the third, Glass Menagerie, in the unidentified group.
The patron is going to come back at some point to look at them, he wants to share some with Karstetter's widow. This is one of the more meaningful things archives can do perhaps, to add to people's memories and reminiscing as they get old, and recall their time or their spouse's time here.
