Hello!

I'm a special collections librarian from the Univ. of CO at Boulder and
I'm going to Urbana-Champaign next week to attend a workshop on special
collections in the sciences. Bizarrely my mother was talking with her
cousin, Betty Dewaard, who said that we have a distant relative there
(you) and that she had recently spoken with you. My grandmother is a
Ruesink (Gertrude). Anyway, Betty suggested that I email you.

I'll be staying at the Hampton Inn near the University from the 18th to
the 25th (217-337-1100). I don't know what kind of schedule they have
set up for us but if it worked out, I'd enjoy meeting you.

I hope this note finds you well!

Best,
Michelle Visser
