Today - February 29th - is my former University of Denver Bookstore colleague Larry's birthday. Since this is Leap Year and February 29th comes along only once every every 4 years, that makes Larry still a very young man. Mrs. Fitzpatrick, the librarian at Fort Dearborn Grammar School back in the Brainerd neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, was also born on February 29th, but that was a long time ago and I don't have any photographs of her, and so we will concentrate on Larry. Larry was one of the two Operations Coordinators at the store, got burned out, and decided to retire. Larry was - and I am sure still is - a really nice guy, but none of us current or former DU Bookstore employees have ever heard from him again after he left the store. I guess once he was done with the DU Bookstore he was done with everything connected with it. But we are such wonderful people - what's the deal with that? Phone home Larry. And Happy Birthday!
