Happy Retirement to Rich Rexroat

Rich Rexroat started at the Health Sciences Library in 1979. That year:

  • Jimmy Carter was president
  • The Sahara Desert experienced snow for 30 minutes
  • Superman the Movie was released
  • The average cost of a medical journal was about $40
  • And this is what the Medical Library looked like, where Rich started his career as a librarian.

 

 

Now, almost 40 years later, he’s decided it’s time to retire, and we wish him well in his future endeavors!
