Nulph Sun, 27 May 2012 21:02:13 +0000 http://blogs.davenportlibrary.com/sc/?p=3630#comment-17028 Bernard was my Uncle (my Mother Arline’s brother), and he and I talked often about his volunteer time at the library, and I can tell you he was very proud of that, and especially the recognition he was given by your folks when he completed his 2,000 hours.
He made it to 96 and 1/2, and when he had reached 90 I told him I needed to have him make it to 100 to get the averages up for the family. He said “I’m trying”. He did, and with class.

Thank you for putting this tribute online…he would be very happy to know about it.
