Description
At the 24th (Irregular) meeting, the Sub-Librarians met with members of several New York City area Sherlockian scion societies, including the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes and Montague Street Lodgers, at the Renaissance Hotel. A last minute room change moved the group into the bar area, very handy for toasts. Paula Perry made the toast to Lomax, Joe Coppola to Sherlock Holmes, Frank Sadowski to Hill Barton, Bill Vande Water to Baron Gruner, and Maxine Reneker to Kitty Winter.
Susan Rice, author of A Compound of Excelsior, spoke on "Sherlock Holmes: Possessor or Possessed," dealing with conservation and classification. She revealed her belief that there are only two ways to divide the human race: everyone is either an accumulator or discarder. She then proceeded to apply her findings to the Canon and Sherlock Holmes.
The meeting closed with a reading of "221B" and the singing of "A Song for Sub-Librarians."
Local arrangements and thanks go to Paula Perry, ASH and Andrew J. Peck, BSI.
