Check out this slide show (on the library's homepage) or the facebook album of Barb Diaz's work that is currently up in our gallery (and for sale!!). Or come see the sweet drawings in person. I have a zoom meeting tonight, so I will just offer another great obit for your delectation and delight.
From The New York Times:
Hamish MacInnes, Scotland’s Man of the Mountains, Dies at 90
He scaled dangerous peaks all over the world. He also modernized rescue techniques that helped save countless lives.

They told him he was lucky to have written several books and appeared in scores of documentaries, because they could help jog his memory. Immersing himself in his library and film archives, he was able to reconstruct his past and eventually restore most of his memory. The episode is recounted in a 2018 documentary, “Final Ascent: The Legend of Hamish MacInnes.”
Reference to libraries in obits always makes me happy!! More anon...
