Dear Roberto,
With great interest and immense satisfaction I have read your wonderful
tribute to Sherman Clarke on the eve of his retirement. One thing that
cannot be emphasized enough when speaking of Sherm is the enormous courage
that it took for him to be all the things he was and is!
I will never forget his selfless devotion to the cause of ARLIS/NA during
the struggle of its its first hard years when I had the honor of serving on
the Board with him. Conviction, Courage , Loyalty -- that's Sherm. Happy
Retirement ---Wolfgang

Subject: [ARLIS-L] How well do you know Sherman Clarke?
Dear Colleagues,
As you all know, Sherman Clarke is a librarian who has garnered an
outstanding reputation in the areas of cataloging and art librarianship, and
has been an active member of ARLIS/NA and VRA, not to mention regional
chapters, divisions, committees, and round tables. What you may not know is
that Sherman also has been an active member, secretary, and newsletter
editor of the Queer Caucus for Art, a society affiiliated with the College
Art Association. Recently, Sherman retired from his job at NYU and is soon
moving from New York City back to his childhood home of Alfred, New York. I
thought this would be a good time to help others get to know Sherman a
little better, and so he graciously agreed to be interviewed by me, which
you can now read on my personal blog, bklynbiblio. Check it out at
http://bklynbiblio.blogspot.com/2009/05/interview-sherman-clarke.html and
rediscover the one-and-only Sherman Clarke!
