Obama Titcomb connection

HONOLULU (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama and his family spent nearly seven hours on Oahu's North Shore, visiting one of his old high school buddies.
Obama's police-escorted motorcade took a two-hour scenic drive Sunday up the island's windward coast from his rental home to the Mokuleia residence of Bobby Titcomb.
Earlier, Obama and two friends from Chicago, Eric Whitaker and Martin Nesbitt, went to the Semper Fit gym on Marine Corps Base Hawaii's compound. The president-elect didn't speak to reporters but made small talk with folks who gathered by the road inside the secure base.
Marines and others on the secure base gathered on a traffic island waiting for a glimpse of Obama.
Afterward, Obama asked the visitors how they were doing and offered a drawn out "al-ohhh-ha." The group applauded.
On the way to Titcomb's house, the Obamas made a brief stop at the Turtle Bay Resort.
Obama and his family are spending 12 days in his native state. The Obamas are trying to keep a low profile on the trip but Obama is receiving national security briefings. He has no public schedule through the New Year.

It is the general wish of the officers and others the inhabitants of Salisbury and Almsbury to be set off and divided as aforesaid, and from their local situation it is fully my opinion of the best and that it will conduce to the good of the Division which I have the honour to Command that the Regiment be divided accordingly…."

Mary Lemist Titcomb

Mary Titcomb was the first librarian at Washington County Free Library and the person who originated the idea of a county-wide delivery of books.
Mary Lemist Titcomb, 1857-1932, was born in New Hampshire, worked in the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Library, later became librarian of the public library in Rutland, Vermont and secretary of the first Vermont Library Commission.
She arrived in Hagerstown, Maryland in 1902 to organize the county's library. She was concerned that the library was not reaching all of the people it could, that to be a county library, as the name implied, it should reach everyone in the county. The bookmobile served to extend the role of the library outside the county seat. She said:
No better method has ever been devised for reaching the dweller in the country. The book goes to the man, not waiting for the man to come to the book.
