I ultimately went to Emporia State for library school ($) but I REALLY wanted to go to UT Austin in no small part bc of David Gracy. I only met him a few times but could tell how supportive he was of students/early career folks, which we need all we can get in archives. RIP, sir.

Learned from the SGA list that the archives world has lost a legend. Dr David Gracy passed away yesterday. He was the person who convinced me that I – someone with a public relations background – needed to be an archivist (and specifically, one who went to Texas).

RIP Dr. David B. Gracy, II. I loved Dr. Gracy’s speech on the first day of library school. He inspired so many. My favorite Gracy-ism that I still use is “Between you, me, and the fence post.” I loved how he said, Archiiiives!” in a hushed and conspiratorial voice. RIP to an icon
