Meeting John McPhee was pretty cool, talking with Michael Silverblatt was super cool, but today these hands, these here very hands with their busted up and ragged nails touched the pages of the very first run of the very first book EVER printed - the Gutenberg Bible.
I almost cried right there in special collections.

There's a Gutenberg Bible on campus?!!? I've got to see this, too...
Oh wow... very, very cool to see it and touch it in the flesh and not just read about it!
Oh, my. Very special. Wow.
You've cried since, haven't you? After special collections? With the vibes rushing through your body - history meets you, right then, right there.
Very very cool...
