    I remember Mrs. Adair so well from her days at the Frankfort Community Public Library. The years she was there were part of my growing up years. Being in the profession myself now, I understand the devotion she gave to her work and to all she served. Condolences to her family and friends.

    I first met Edith when I was younger would go into the Frankfort Library where she would check out my books my books.
