The UWA memoirs are available now in a 21-page edition for $3 (send check,
made out to UWA, to Elizabeth Shapland). I sent a copy to the University
Archives and received back a thank you along with a form to be signed to
make the gift of this document official so that researchers can look at it
and the university could
allow it to be included in publications. For my own contribution, I have no
hesitation about signing this, but I feel a bit uncertain about doing so
when the document includes others' contributions. If anyone has an
objection, please let me know. And if anyone wants to contribute more
memories, please do send them to me. I see these 21 pages as only the
initial collection and would be happy to add more to it. --Elizabeth
