UMKC University Libraries The Blue Roo has taken up residence with Michael Brown. Some may see Michael as underappreciated, because he spends much of his time toiling away in the confines of the Receiving Room.

Neither snow nor rain no...r heat nor gloom of morning stays this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds to Hospital Hill and to various locations around Miller Nichols to pick up and deliver mail.
