Hello Marsha:
I see you're no longer cataloguing Jimmy Hendrix material! I suppose
you know he lived in a house that is next door to the house Handel lived
in, in London. How's life? Funny how our paths seem to cross. I'm in
London these days, working on the James Madison Carpenter collection
(using XML, EAD and the rest of the techno alphabet). A workshop like
the one in Seattle before we started this project would have been very
useful! Britain is extremely backward, technologically speaking - heck
most libraries here don't even use MARC! And the university that is
supposed to be hosting our finished project doesn't have an XML server.
Will you be at AFS this year? A group of us will be doing a panel
discussion on the adventures of the Carpenter project team in EAD.

One of these days I may come to Seattle, but not in September. I'll be
in Sicily instead, much closer.

All the best,
Elaine
