Very sad news. As a student at UMKC I worked at the Plaza Branch
when Sue Dearing worked directly across from me at Plaza Reference
she was a "wonder to behold" she was "google" before there was an internet!
Sue Dearing would quote the source material, with dates, source locations, and all source contributors,
almost instantly searching primitive computer databases, ref. books, and (back then) news clippings.
The Plaza phones would ring all day long and she handled them everyday
before there were "subs", before shorter days and snow days...!
Truely a talented librarian... (RIP)
