two program recommendations
by Saffert, Carli 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, folks, Just wanted to recommend a couple of programs/presenters that we had here last year that were really great. 1. Keith Gamble Keith Gamble is a saxophonist and educator from Detroit. He came with a pianist, a bass player, and a drummer and played a jazz concert for us last year. He and his fellow musicians are highly talented. We did a straight-up concert, but I could see them playing a Friends' fundraiser or gala as well. He often plays for public libraries, and he is a delight to work with. If you're interested, just contact him for his rates. You can reach him at keithgamblemusic(a)comcast.net<mailto:keithgamblemusic@comcast.net> or keithgamblemusic.com. 2. The Gone With the Wind Answer Lady Kathleen Marcaccio does a fun program on all aspects of Gone With the Wind. She covers Margaret Mitchell, the writing of the book, the making of the film, and a lot of behind-the-scenes information. She is extremely well informed, and she is actually in contact with a few of the surviving actors from the film. She brings a nice selection of her GWTW memorabilia along with her to her events. We had a solid attendance, and the audience members were enthusiastic about the event. This program appeals not just to GWTW fans, but also Civil War buffs and classic movie geeks. When we booked her, her fee was $125. I don't know if that has changed. You can reach her at dkosh(a)msn.com<mailto:dkosh@msn.com>. Happy programming! Carli Carli Saffert Asst. Reference Librarian St. Clair County Library

Stock Price in 1992 Question
by Faith Wolbers 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello- I have a patron who is looking for the stock prices of Sara Lee (SLE) for 11/6/1992 and 12/1/1992. Does anyone know how I might be able to help him find that? Sara Lee stock no longer exists and another stock exists under that code so when I attempt to find the price it isn't working. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks, Faith Wolbers, MLIS Coloma Public Library Assistant Director 151 W. Center St. P.O.
