His wife, Carol, and his daughter, Ginny (who flew in from Columbus, Ohio, to be a part of the day’s festivities), accompanied Mr. Vander Jagt. Many other local and regional dignitaries were with us during a day that included a luncheon for supporters of the Congressional Papers processing project, a public reception, and the evening Heritage Day event.
In the weeks following this special day, we also welcomed a new face to the Joint Archives staff and said farewell to a long-term volunteer. Archivist David Andrews joined us for a one-year term position. He comes from the staff of the Carnegie Mellon University Archives in Pittsburgh. Our staff also said farewell to long-time volunteer John Maassen. He and his wife are relocating to Florida. See separate stories on David and John in this issue.
As we move through this special season, we wish you a very blessed holiday!
