The pride of the Libraries, the Library Staff Association-sponsored Bibliotechs softball team, proved in 1995 to be Fortune's favourites and Destiny's darlings by stunning the strong field of opponents in the MIT Community Summer Softball League's Extra-Crispy Division and sweeping to an undefeated championship season. Congratulations to those few, that happy band of Bibliotechs (LSA members Anne Battis, Eric Celeste, Ray Charbonneau, Darcy Duke, Capt. Jon Eichman, Mark Farrar, Charlene Follett, Kathy Hamilton, Nancy Heywood, Christine Moulen, Karen Mueller-Harder, Co-Capt. Walter Powers, Arnie Sheinfeld, Ginny Such, Jos Wanschers, and Grant Young, and family and friends of the Bibliotechs.) A summer shall ne'er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but that the 1995 Bibliotechs in it shall be remembered.
We would like to thank retiring Capt. Jon "The Iowa Flash" Eichman, (see ill.) who has left the Libraries to pursue a study of law, for six years of exemplary leadership, not only by dint of his personal on-field skills, strategic expertise, ability to inspire, willingness to struggle with reality for control over meaning, and razor-sharp beer management, but particularly for his recognition of the inexplicit yet compelling Bibliotech mandate, e.g. to have a good time or whatever. So, another honored name joins the roster of 18 years of past captains preserved in the jellied aspic of the collective Bibliotech mind: beside Generoso, McColl, Gass, Byrne, Ewing, McSweeney, Powers, Massell, and Belich, we salute...Eichman.
