Greetings to Priraa Wusnack Norraa Pucich Grace Hhodes June Dearman Lave me Jones Rosa Lee Jackson Ken Garrison Joy Wallace
Your beautiful letter dated June 21 haa pleased me more than I can readily tell you.
'THE SMITHSONIAN EXPERIENCE happens to be my favorite reference book about my favorite museuml You could not have possibly made a better choice.
That you have placed my name on the book plate just overwhelms me. I am not accustomed to such gracious attention.
I do hope and believe the many patrons of ihe City-County Public Library will frequently refer to this handsome and well organized volume.
A heartfelt "'rnank You*.
Sincerely,
Joe Pilet
