I think this speaks to the highly literate and intellectual nature of our faculty, staff and students!<\/p>\n<p>I made an initial drop-off at the library (see photo below). Joe was a great student of history &#8211; particularly Winston Churchill and the seminal event of his childhood, World War II &#8211; but also enjoyed early American History, mysteries, quantum physics, math puzzles, writers from &#8220;The New Yorker,&#8221; and a host of other subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Stop by the library, browse, and pick up a book or three. I will hopefully replenish as needed!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Eric Bryant<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/bookcart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-180164\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/bookcart-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/bookstack.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-180165\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/bookstack-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 12 Aug 2025 19:37:06 +0000 by\u00a0e.bryant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Hello, Campus Colleagues: My 93-year-old father-in-law passed away late last month, and before departing this Earth he entrusted to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-classifieds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24497\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
