Moving across the country in the late 1990s to attend the MLIS program at UW, Allyson welcomed me into the program and made me feel right at home in the Pacific Northwest. I had the great honor of taking several cataloguing classes with her, being her RA, and co-authoring an article with her. Her passion for cataloguing was so contagious, and although I hadn't considered cataloguing as a career when I began the program, it became a keen interest--thanks to Allyson. It has been an important (and one of the most enjoyable) parts of my job for the last 20 years. We ran into each other three years ago at a community event and she was as warm and friendly as ever and showed great interest in my library career. I am grateful for her mentorship and friendship.
