Thanks very much for sending this out, Casey. I love the interviews.<br>
<br>
When I arrived at Virginia Tech, I asked my department chair if I could get<br>
a few more bookcases, figuring they'd just order some from IKEA or<br>
wherever. Because our space is a bit unique, however, the solution turned<br>
out to be having crafts-people employed at Virginia Tech make custom cases<br>
for my office. I was surprised - baffled might be more accurate - to learn<br>
that the university had such expertise on hand.<br>
<br>
It'd be interesting to learn what other large organizations employ internal<br>
crafts-persons.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

On Fri, J<br>
