TM:  At the time I went here in the 80s, much as you have now, it was set up a little differently, where they wanted us to be quite well-rounded at the time of graduation.  So, not only did you of course take your major, but they wanted you to have so many, like now you call them electives, but, so many credit hours from all the different departments on campus.  So, I studied Chaucer, I studied Art, I studied Anthropology, so basically I hit every single department on campus except Psychology and Sociology.  Everything else, yep, I took something.  In fact, a counselor here, an advisor, felt I should really pursue Library Science, and at the time I thought very stereotypical of librarians.  The librarians here at the time were elderly, and not extremely user-friendly, and I thought, “Oh, my God, is that how this person sees me?”  because I didn’t really understand the dynamics of a collegiate library, and so I kind of pooh-poohed that idea, but over the years, I have worked in many different types of libraries, and this background that Potsdam gave me, the diversity, really prepared me for work in Library Science.</text>

BG: Uhhh, one of the faculty members, Betty Baritaud, I don’t know whether you can spell her name, her husband was a conductor of the orchestra but she was like a female chorus teacher, something like that. One of the most beloved teachers really and beautiful.  Anyway what they did for students who were down here in the New York area who had to audition, they didn’t have us come up there. They would come down here at uh Columbus uh Columbus College, how do you say it, Columbia College, and they would meet us there on certain days to audition and student violinists, trombonists, pianist, whatever, and Betty Baritaud and a couple of other teachers were there. And it was an interesting or exciting audition because they were tired of listening all these kids play the same things, so Betty Baritaud said,  "Well, can you play some other set? Make up a piece.” Something like that she told me and I played some jazz and she liked that and she passed the word up to Potsdam. So they knew about me before I got there. </text>
