Dear Colleagues... I am writing with the sorry news to say that the Stratford-Perth County Archives last week lost two of Ontario's best-known archivists. Why Lutzen Riedstra's and Carolynn Bart-Riedstra's positions have been declared redundant is not at all clear but now would be a good time to write a few letters. Apparently there was an article in the Stratford Beacon Herald last week to which I don't seem to be able to connect so have not seen, but there is a letter to the editor right now at: www.stratfordbeaconherald.com/editorials/letter.html To support the Riedstras, the Stratford-Perth Archives and our profession, advocates can write to Ron McKay, the Warden of the County of Perth and Ria Colquhoun, CAO for Perth County.
