Lucky old Frank Pezzanite (LSSI), you know him off the;

“A lot of libraries are atrocious,” Mr. Pezzanite said. “Their policies are all about job security. That’s why the profession is nervous about us. You can go to a library for 35 years and never have to do anything and then have your retirement. We’re not running our company that way. You come to us, you’re going to have to work.”

has just come back from a 112 day cruise, you can read his account at www.frankandjudygo.blogspot.com
