A few days ago I had a visitor at my home here—the former President of St. John's in Annapolis, Pano Kanelos. I was able to tell him how much I admire that program and the values it stands for. Others can—and should—learn from its example.

Ted, as a fellow lifetime reader this is an exceptional post that I enjoyed. But I have to ask you one question—where do you get your barrister's glass-fronted shelves from? I must know!

I get my bookcases from a company called Hale in Frankfort, NY. They have been selling these lovely glass-enclosed shelves since 1907. If we're lucky, they will never go out of business. I will be ordering more from them soon.

Your question brought back a memory of something I hadn't thought of in ages - we had a couple of those Shelves you asked about. I loved them and the way they looked. But as of now, can't remember in the slightest where I got them or what happened to them.

As an SJC alum I'll just say that a great books college education was invaluable and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
