Abstract

Dear MAC members, I’ve always enjoyed looking back to the year I was born to see what the trends were, what was on the radio and in the news, and who else was born that year. So of course, I had to do the same for the year MAC was born, 1972. On the radio was Don McLean’s “American Pie” (my teenage daughters now stream it), and HBO started (still paying for content). Most important, in Chicago a group of Midwest archivists met as an organization for the very first time. In a quirk of the calendar, our 50th spring conference this year will be the same days (May 5 and 6) as that very first meeting. I’m glad we expanded to a third day to give us extra time to celebrate!
