Dad reports from work today:

Special Collections just had an 'open house,' celebrating that they've finally re-opened the reading room after a long renovation. They had pulled out and displayed a bunch of cool, rare old books plus a selection of documents with famous signatures -- the signatures were really moving. Among others, they had:

Mark Twain, Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Helen Keller (!), Georgia O'Keefe, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Jimmy Carter.

So cool! The documents themselves were mostly nothing, just thank you letters or memos or whatever, but how cool to see Albert Einstein's small and careful little signature in blue pen on an old letter.
