     As many of the great branch library buildings are from the Carnegie 
legacy, why not try and continue that theme? Who are today's Carnegies?
     Awhile back I advocated for sports stars to sponsor neighborhood houses 
of the like when I grew up (Magaret Barry et al.). Why not library branches 
instead or in addition?
     I mean K.G. makes an annual salary equal to the library budget. I think 
he might be able to support one facility. Maybe he's got a few competiteve 
buddies.
     Yes the libraries have evolved from patronage and of course they won't 
go back under it; I'm just thinking that some of the ridiculoulsy rich might 
want to leave a significant heritage.A beatufil building embracing a hundred 
year old thought.
     Anyone here got a superstars ear?

     I sold Carl Eller some golf clubs in '63, that's as good as I got.
