Thank you for remembering my mother, Marion Branston, in the item on the 50th anniversary in the GR Press recently. I recall the original library in 1959 in what later became The Bagpiper and is now who knows what. My sister Ann and I visited the new library last year and were very impressed. Our mother would have been proud. Thanks to all Friends, especially Bev Verdier. Best, John Branston
