And PLEASE don't forget Rune and Susan and their crew that changed a very nice library into a beautiful place for art. Rune spent hours upon hours in the weeks leading up to the ICS designing and pre-fabricated walls and stands and flying quilts. It all came together with the help of many that I don't know the list of names. The univ vice president liked the way the quilts looked so much he said that they may start using that way to decorate the library more often. And please think about Bob West who is STILL there today and will not get to leave until Wed. Jon
