29 candid photos of Allen Wilmert's retirement party, held at Funderburg Library in spring of 1989.

5 photographs were scanned in 2018, and because they were snapshots, the original paper picture was discarded.  The digital images can be located in the [Buildings_Structures_History and pictures] folder on the Archives' network in the folder titled [Funderburg Library and Older Libraries] - [Wilmert Retirement 1989 MC2002_316]- and they are also searchable by accession number typed in the following format: MC2003_316

Scanned images include the following individuals:

Doris Stephenson (Librarian) in red blouse.

Mary Orpurt (Library worker and wife of Prof Phil Orpurt) in purple pants.

President Helman in grey suit in photo with Doris Stephenson.

Tanya Moyer (secretary to Wilmert, and facing viewer) at table with Linda Richards (library staff) Doug Campbell (beard) and Gary Beck (back turned) of Physical Plant.

Eloise Brown  (Library staff) pouring punch.  Professor Ferne Baldwin in red.

Gene Fahs (Treasurer of MC) in photograph with Professor Kendall Rogers (probably Rogers, short beard), Bob Metzger (white beard) and Professor Bob Keller.

Library Director, Allen Wilmert was a birdwatcher, and so the theme involved pictures of birds.
