Miss Goldsborough resigned April 5, 1966 having completed six years

May 4, 1966. Beatrice B. Hiltabidle retired June 30 after sixteen years
in our repair room. She was replaced by Kenneth Thompson, May 4,
1966. Mrs. Hiltabidle volunteered to stay an extra month or two after
the new repair room people were employed in order to instruct them
in the basic principles of repair work and book binding. This was
characteristic of Mrs. Hiltabidle who has always been gracious and
considerate of the needs of the Hall of Records. We shall miss her
very much.
