Class of 1953Nancy Haig Marshall ’5310 Wildwood Drive, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107207-321-9136nhmars@wm.eduAfter graduation, in December 1953 I married my fellow classmate, William H Marshall. We havefour children: Bruce Davis (born 1955, Northwestern University B.A. 1978, Yale Divinity SchoolM.Div. 1980, Yale University PhD. 1983); Gregg Price (born 1958, Yale University B.A. 1980,Stanford University M.B.A. 1992); Lisa Reynolds (born 1960, Bryn Mawr College B.A. 1982);Jeanine Haig (born 1963, Ohio Wesleyan University B.A. 1985).After all the children were in school and we moved from West Virginia to Wisconsin, I received myM.A.L.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies,and began working at the Memorial Library on campus. Following fifteen years in variouscapacities there, in 1986 I moved to the College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA) as Deanof University Libraries and retired from that position in 1997.During my professional working life, I was very active on local, regional and national levels oflibrary organizations, and served for twelve years on the Council of the American LibraryAssociation as well as president of ALA's Reference and Adult Services Division.I fulfilled a lifelong dream soon after retirement when I wrote a book describing my fifty plus yearcollection of over 1,000 editions of Clement Clarke Moore's immortal poem 'Twas the Night BeforeChristmas (www.nightbeforechristmas.biz). Although I gifted my collection in 2005 to the SpecialCollections Research Center at the Earl Gregg Swem Library of the College of William and Mary, Icontinue to collect editions of the poem to add to the holdings of the Nancy H Marshall "A Visitfrom Saint Nicholas" Collection.In 2005, Bill and I moved to Cape Elizabeth, ME, to be closer to our daughter, Lisa, and herfamily. We are enjoying our life here in this beautiful coastal town outside of Portland. I haveserved on several town committees, including my local public library's Board of Trustees andLibraryFoundation.
