I was in town for a few days to see some Bix sites and to do a little genealogical digging for some relatives of mine who lived in Davenport between the 1880s and 1960s. I was impressed with your special collections department, and really appreciate all that the librarians there must do to maintain it. (I’m a library worker myself, so I have some understanding of what it’s all about!) I wish I could have stayed for Bix Fest this year (I’ve never been to one, much to my chagrin), but, since I feel that I’ve only scratched the surface of the resources that I could consult in my research, I will almost certainly be back at some point. Davenport is only a 9-hour drive from my front door, after all.

(Oh, yes, and I did enjoy taking a look at the Bix memorabilia that you have on display!)
