So if anyone (ahem) with the time and means happens to get from HI to WI and find themself in the neighborhood
You’re asking a lot.
If in the neighborhood of the Wisconsin Historical Society (yes I have been there many times in the distant past, the book/page turning alarm clock machine imagined and built by John Muir is a highlight) as I was saying, across the street from the library is the student Memorial Union. It would draw me in like a sci-fi tractor beam, or a promise To Serve Man, students and alumni. Do you really think I’d survive seeing what a Babcock ice cream cone or Leinenkugal beer costs there now? Probably not a dime.
Five months of winter traversing the library mall between the Historical Society and Memorial Library is a big reason I ended up in Hawaii. I’ll take Puna.
