Occasionally we are contacted by people searching for
information about a Libravet they have lost contact with. Recently, we received
an e-mail request from a lady who was searching for detailed information about
her deceased Uncle, Verle McClure. She knew he worked at Librascope over 50
years ago, but little else for certain. A quick search of the 300 plus
Librazettes on our Librascope Search website, produced a dozen issues that his
name appeared in. A closer study of those newspapers indicated that he had
started with Librascope on July 6, 1948 and retired sometime in the early
1980's. During this time, he was a popular union representative in the shop.
This information, including a photo of Verle taken for his 25th service
anniversary in the July 1973 Librazette, was greatly appreciated, and provided enough information to pursue additional searches. Verle passed away in 1992 at the age of 77.
