In 2014 the staff of the Superior Public Library remembered your grandfather’s birthday by posting on Facebook a note, a poem, and a photo.

And on the front of the library’s 1977 “Summary Report” leaflet the staff remembered him by printing a quotation from his “Book selection and the community library," an essay published in 1963:

The library's highest calling now is to be a microcosm of the coming united states of man, representing as it should all times and places and creative voices. Let us as librarians prove active legislators in our republic of free communion and communication; and equally, at the same time, preservers of the American tradition founded in humane experiment, who know and say that such a republic could not exist under authoritarian government of either Left or Right. Let us be interpreters for the redeeming ministry of books.
