Hugh Atkinson himself migrated from Ohio State to the University of Illinois. He was a bright and colorful fellow dean, sporting an eye patch and riding a motorcycle. The early 1980s mirrored the current financial difficulties. GSLIS at Illinois was fortunate to have secured an OCLC terminal and a couple of early PCs during that era of low funding. Best wishes and thanks to all for their reminiscences! _______________________ Charles H.
