Read a number of books on Benjamin Franklin. Many of his ideas were way ahead of his time. And that better smelling farts law or whatever it was is still hilarious. Fart Proudly: Ben Franklin Loved Farting So Much He Wrote An Essay About It

It was a proposal for studies before I expect laws?? Tongue in cheek though.

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.

What a great history! Thank you!

Buzz Aldrin - Astronaut - Biography.com

My Information Access Company boss loved space exploration. This was Robert Lee. Can remember him crying at his desk over the Challenger going down and then we had to index various newspaper articles for stories about that tragedy for their product the National Newspaper Index. Challenger Disaster Live on CNN - YouTube

https://www.nypl.org/collections/art...x-1977-present

And later articles in the Magazine Index.

History of Information Access Company – FundingUniverse

For a very current event like the Challenger disaster they would have to meet up and come up with terms to use to index all the magazine and newspaper articles on that topic hoping that also got the terms the Library of Congress would eventually assign for books on that event.

My fellow U of MN Law School grad-- another boss but higher up the command chain of IAC-- would have been involved in getting the right terms to use.

You would have found Information Access Company's products in almost every public library of any good size in the United States. As well as libraries in colleges and universities.

Happy Birthday Bill Bixby, Bill Bixby - Wikipedia

I loved him in both My Favorite Martian and The Incredible Hulk.

What a short life with so much tragedy.

"Bixby's first marriage was to actress*Brenda Benet.[23]*They were married in 1971 and she gave birth to their son Christopher in 1974. In 1981, Christopher died suddenly of a rare throat infection. Bixby and Benet divorced shortly afterwards, and Benet committed suicide the following year.[24]*In 1989, he met Laura Michaels, who had worked on the set of one of his*Hulk*movies. The couple married a year later in Hawaii. In early 1991, Bixby was diagnosed with*prostate cancer*and underwent treatment.[25]*He was divorced in the same year. In late 1992, friends introduced him to the artist Judith Kliban, widow of*B. Kliban, a cartoonist who had died of a pulmonary embolism. Bixby married Judith in late 1993, just six weeks before he collapsed on the set of*Blossom."

That is indeed a tragic story.

Yes, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Sad. He is a wonderful singer and entertainer.

She’s the hottest female cop on TV, IMHO.
