    1. Re: [PSRoots] Re: Suzzallo
    2. For all you folks who are so knowledgeable about Suzzallo, perhaps you can shed some light on a problem I have. About a year after the Manuscript Department moved to the lower floor of Allen Library, I was in the microfilm dept. trying to make a copy of the first issue filmed of the Issaquah Independent. (It has the "history of Issaquah" on the front page.) The page is so washed out/over exposed that after many tries, the librarian suggested I go to the Mss. Dept. because they had the original on file, there. Needless to say, I hotfooted it down there. The newspaper was in marvelous condition but it was about 15 minutes to closing, so I asked if I could make some photocopies of it. :D That didn't go anywhere, but they suggested I could take it upstairs and have it copied for $55 a page. I thought it would be a bit much, so I decided on my next visit, I'd "read" the pages into a tape recorder. A couple of months later, I arrived back in the Mss. Dept., found a separate room, set up the recorder and presented myself to the desk to request the newspaper. It has never been seen since, at least by my eyes. :( Over the past few years, whenever I think of it, I either arrive there or call to ask if the newspaper has been found. I'm now known as "that lady" and I receive an automatic, "No, we haven't found it." Any suggestions? Linda
