A member of Carlson Library\u2019s staff has retired after more than four decades of service at The University of Toledo.<\/p>\n

\"Gregory\"<\/a>

Gregory<\/p><\/div>Martha Gregory, who worked at Carlson Library since July 1, 1965, retired from her position as a library associate June 30. <\/p>\n

Many of Gregory\u2019s contributions have been done behind the scenes, faithfully updating library information. <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot has changed. When I started, we still had the card catalogue; now everything is done online,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her colleagues said they will miss her skills and capacity for work.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartha\u2019s experience and expertise has been invaluable to me,\u201d said Laura Kinner, director of University Libraries. \u201cShe is the backbone of the library.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before coming to work for UT, Gregory taught vocal music at an elementary school, but she soon discovered that teaching was not for her. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt took several years for me to find it, but I eventually found the job I was meant to do,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Gregory\u2019s UT \u201cfamily\u201d extended to her off-campus life as well. Her husband, Dr. Elmer Richard Gregory, was an English professor at the University until his retirement in 1998. He died in 2009.<\/p>\n

She plans to spend her free time becoming more involved in her church and, not surprising since she worked in a library, catching up on her reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
