Sweet News at a Difficult Time

The few of us that are still working at the College of Visual Arts will be done this Friday (except for 2 or 3 people) as the school will no longer exist the first of June. I recently received this e-mail from the CVA Librarian as she's about to start her last week of work at CVA overseeing the 11,000 book collection and 9,000 slide collection:

The librarians at MCAD have been extremely kind about the transfer of about 1000 books to the MCAD library. They are going beyond the call of duty by having a student design a bookplate to be placed in each book. This is added work they did not have to do.

One Less Color Processor in the Metro

The College of Visual Arts held it's last class on Friday, May 3, 2012. The night before, I drained and powered down our 31" Kreonite color processor. The next day, I found a work-study student changed the background of the equipment checkout computer in the Photo Lab to this:

"Taking the color processor off life support. It's official - she's dead."

That's a photo of my hand unplugging the processor for the last time. Brunhilda, rest in peace. May you be resurrected someday.
