Photo of Chris Wallace-Crabbe (1934-2025) and Ian Donaldson (1935โ2020) in 2016; Chris in a green sweater, Ian in a dark suit.
Sad to learn that Chris Wallace-Crabbe has joined the majority; here he is with kindergarten friend Ian Donaldson (he still had a bday card from Ian from then; they shared a bday, Chris older by a year). A great loss.

Yes! A great start but the same people are still, astonishingly, running the State Library of Melbourne. They're not saying, 'we were wrong' but 'you don't understand it, so we'll re-word it'. Rally tomorrow Saturday, at Library 12.30! We must stiffen our spines! (Ba ha ha, books, I'm very tired.)

Executives are trying to cut 11 permanent librarian positions, meaning 10 frontline librarians would remain to run Australia's busiest library.
They are proposing to outsource the library's critical information technology team.

Interesting side note โ the โRomeo Problemโ: โRomeo mistakenly thought the unconscious Juliet was dead and abandoned hope, with tragic consequences. By analogy, if a species is mistakenly declared extinct, conservationists may give up on it.โ
