Len Lindquist, Manager of Technology Services for the Prairie Area Library System, died last Thursday. This is a sad loss for everyone connected with the system, because not only was he great at his job, he was an excellent person to work with.
He helped me a few years back, and by extension Reaching Forward South, when we brought the first generation of our website online. We later switched to a hosted web service, but his efforts helped to give us the step up to a very effective web presence.
I last saw him about 1½ years ago, when I had lunch with him and a good mutual friend. We talked about libraries and technology and other such stuff, and had a great time. I would have truly enjoyed working with him more, but my move to Ohio cut that short.
He will be missed.
