Ed Hungerford was also one of the early scholars who visited the Woolfs'
books after they arrived at the Washington State University Library. I
included his account of the experience in the Number 22 (Spring 1984)
issue of the /VWM/. He concludes by saying that the "collection really
demands, for the kind of exploration which would delight others when
properly described, one of those persons from an extinct class of human
beings . . . a person of leisure and eccentric miscellaneous
information. With a ten-year grant from the Ford Foundation, to pursue
any lines of investigation that occur to him/her, such a person might
indeed be able to demonstrate the richness and the endless avenues in
European literature which the Woolfs' personal library makes it
possible for the modern reader to pursue." Ed's "lines of
investigation" still were valuable. We will all miss him as both a kind
person and an insightful scholar.
