Frequent auditors of this blog will recall that Liaden Universe® Ambassador Plenipotentiary Ur Sid had recently accepted a new role as guardian of the Sharon Lee and Steve Miller Collection at the Cushing Memorial Library & Archives at Texas A&M University.
Since the Bumpy Passage fell out of use many years ago, I created a travel pod so that Ur Sid could make his journey in the style to which he had become accustomed, and packed him carefully in a box. He accompanied nine other boxes containing the Full Run of Lee-and-Miller, Lee, and Miller published works.
Well, today Ur Sid arrived at his new post. Jeremy Brett, Curator of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection has kindly sent along photographs of this momentous arrival, which are posted below.
Right now, Ur Sid is sharing office space with Curator Brett. Very shortly, he will be transferred to Collections Care so that a proper enclosure for Ur Sid and his belongings, including his travel diary, may be constructed.
All photographs are by Jeremy Brett.
Super!!!
So proud of my Alma Mater.
