"A few weeks later, I received a long-awaited telephone call. A copy of The Hockey Handbook had arrived from the Boston University Library and was waiting for me at the desk.
That Fall, it was difficult to find relevant books that the Library would not have, but with the help of friends in sporting goods stores, beginning with Intercollegiate Football; A Complete Pictorial and Statistical Review from 1869 to 1934, more than once I sat beside Skye while she filled out multi-carbon copy Interlibrary loan forms. Soon the time came when I asked her to dinner to thank her for all the help she had given me."
