So he knew who he was speaking to. <g> To be honest, it's hard to say - since I don't have connections here, I can't say how much new material was added under his tenure. When the new library opened here (under the previous administrator (Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge's wife Michelle)), the genealogy room was nicely upgraded and expanded space/equipment-wise, but I can't say that a lot of new material has been added. But I can't say that it _hasn't_ either - if I didn't have the Internet I'd spend more time there...
