VALL Fall Meeting at W&L Law School Library

The thirty people who met at the Washington & Lee Law School Library in Lexington on Oct. 25, 2013, for the Fall VALL meeting, got an extra treat -- cake to celebrate VALL's 30th birthday!  

Marie Antoinette would have been happy. 

  

Many thanks to the W&L Law School Library for hosting the meeting.
