NANCY GREEN's RETIREMENT

Howard Daniel writes: "No, I do not want to read about Nancy
Green retiring as Librarian at the ANA!  She had not gotten my
approval on her retirement papers before submitting them!  I am
sure she has trained an excellent staff, but I was just getting
used to Nancy after years of me training her!  Only kidding -
she is a great lady and friend and I will miss her on the ANA
circuit, but I will get to Colorado Springs to bother her every
once in awhile so she does not get much rest in her retirement.
Good luck Nancy in your retirement!"

NBS President Pete Smith writes: "I want to extend my best
wishes to Nancy Green on her second retirement from the ANA.
I recall meeting her when the ANA convention was in Denver in
1996. I hope she can return to greet her friends in NBS when
the convention returns to Denver next August.

Nancy collects library medals. Perhaps now she will have time
to exhibit them or write an article about them for The Asylum.
Those are selfish wishes based on what I want. Of course what
is important is for Nancy now to do what she wants.

In my role as NBS President and her role as ANA Librarian,
we had a professional relationship dealing with fundraising,
support of the ANA Library and recruiting speakers for NBS
meetings. I recall challenging her with a research question
I had been working on without success for a few years. She
found the answer for me.

More that a professional associate, I consider her a friend.
We had lunch or dinner at a couple of the ANA conventions.
While we talked about literature and ANA politics, we also
talked about our families, putting kids through college and
the challenges dealing with aging parents. I hope Nancy will
keep in touch with her friends and continue her association
with the NBS."
