That should be an interesting movie.

That is an excellent "Project," they even have their OWN website with 56,000 free ebooks.

A wonderful thing indeed.

Happy Birthday Robert E. Lee! Robert E. Lee - Wikipedia

My boss at Information Access Company (IAC) was named Robert Lee. He passed around 1988 or so. Learned from letters I got from one of the women that worked there. We did tease him a little bit about that name. Ask him how's Traveller doing and the like. Another one of these bosses had graduated from the U of MN Law School. Think he did not believe I would get through there but with the help of three of the Student Body Presidents there, I did. The IAC people did seemed surprised to see me in Reno, Nevada at the Law Library convention as the cataloger of all the computer files on there. And they seemed to be around in subsequent conventions of law librarians in Minneapolis (1990), New Orleans (1991) and San Francisco (1992). I attended all of these.

Robert Lee was one of my better bosses. I do not believe his parents stuck him with a middle name that started with E and if memory serves me right he was from Connecticut.

What a great history! Thank you!

One of my lifelong best friends, a pharmacist in New Mexico, had the last name of Lee and he resembled Robert E. Lee a good bit. However his ancestry was Guatemalan so I doubt there was any relationship. lol

There are about 12,000 Robert Lee's in The USA. Many more than that worldwide.

What It's Like to Share a Name With Robert E. Lee - The Atlantic

The Information Access Company Robert Lee did not look like Robert E. Lee. One of the marketing people for Legal Resources Index and other IAC Products was the spitting image of a woman I graduated from law school with in 1989. One of my fellow U of MN Law Library colleagues and also a U of MN Class of 1989 Grad mistook the IAC woman for the U of MN Law Grad asking her what she was doing at the San Francisco Law Library convention in 1992. I happened to be within a few feet of these two women when this occurred. The U of MN Law Grad had moved to San Francisco around late 1992 or 1993 and is now one of the best ranked immigration attorneys in San Francisco with her own law firm with her name first in the list of partners. Kind of weird to run into dopplegangers like this. The IAC woman sometimes would be donating blood when the blood mobile came to that publishing house complex where Information Access Company was in the 1980s in Belmont, CA. LegalTrac, Legal Resources Index and Current Law Index

The U of MN Law Grad was also one of the other Student Directors of Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners along with me. That is the doppleganger member not the Law Librarian. I did Minnesota Correctional Facility--Stillwater along with another Student Co-Director and the look-a-like did one of the smaller Minnesota prisons.
