A wonderful man, Carnegie - ditto you, Jon! I worked in a Carnegie library in Ramsgate - sadly burned down by a mad local heritage-hating arsonist! And we have one in Kendal. The NY podcast this week laments the lack of philanthropy - and tax contributions, from today’s US super-rich.

How awful that the Ramsgate Library got burned down, Dru. Fantastic though that you got to work in it. And also fabulous that you have a Carnegie Library in Kendal.

I will miss your voice in my Sunday morning emails, but understand your new pursuit is a large undertaking and requires more mental space. I’m very excited for you and want to remind you that I am (we are) here to support you and hear about the direction your idea is taking.

Hooray for Carnegie, and those like him wh lifted up others once they found their own way.

Hope to hear from you soon!
