Yesterday I declared Sandy Berman Appreciation Month and implored readers to send Sandy get well wishes. But I know it's really hard for some people to buy a card, write on it, put it in an envelope, stamp it, and mail it. Therefore, I volunteer to convey your messages for you.
Either write a comment here, or post it elsewhere and send me the link, and I will print and mail your contribution for you. Please show Sandy some love!

Wow! What happened? I can't
Wow! What happened? I can't not send Sandy snail mail but also want him to know through this media that I wish him only the best recovery. I've known Sandy going on 40 years -- since we were in SRRT together in Minneapolis.

Still remember reading
Still remember reading Sandy's typewritten "mimeographed"
"Unabashed" publication and I was very moved by his concern for the ordinary reader/library user. I am talkin' 60's here.
I could not understand why he was having a hard time convincing the powers that be of the validity of his words.
These days in library retirement, I still keep up on Sandy's influences and how he is still trying to open the library to the user/nonuser and wish him well in his recovery.

I worked as a film library
I worked as a film library clerk at HCPL between business school and library school. I met Sandy a few times, and occasionally perused the alternative literature he routed around to interested people.
Two of my co-workers worked part-time in Tech Services, and when I decided that the only way I'd get a somewhat well paid full-time job in a library was to go back and get an MLS, Sandy donated his copy of AACR2 for my going away party. He said he never used it. So, I had the honor of using Sanford Berman's copy of AACR2 at library school!

Jenna, I'm definitely one of those well-intentioned but operationally inept folks, so I thank you so much for offering to pass this along. JL
Sandy Berman!
Greetings from Anne Lipow's daughter (and fellow Berman Admirer), Jenny. I was so sorry to hear of your accident and encouraged to learn that you seem to be on the mend a bit ahead of schedule.
Somehow, it's been four years since Anne died on 9-9-04 [yahrzeit September 23 this year]; Roy Tennant published his festschrift in her honor this summer, and on Tuesday's anniversary we'll all be at the dedication of "The Free Speech Cafe Front Pages"--Steve's latest contribution to UC library--outside Moffitt in Anne's honor.
Warmest wishes for a speedy recovery, Sandy.
In Solidarity,
Jenny Lipow
