Jon Crispin's Notebook

Rodrigo was an extremely literate man.  His collection of books was so interesting.

He was a writer as well, as this editorial from his Salt Lake High School yearbook illustrates.

Rodrigo’s collection of books tells us so much about his view of the world.

From reading his writings, I got the sense that he was a bit lonely, and deeply spiritual.

The autographs page of his yearbook had only his signature.

I love the logo for Oliver R. Meredith’s Trunk Factory.  I looked for information online about the business, and didn’t find much about the company, but did come across this great gallery of photographs of trunk manufacturers.

From time to time I like to post a nice photo of Peggy Ross, whom I can never thank enough for her help throughout the years that we have spent documenting the collection of suitcases.  I literally could not (and would not) have done this work without her help.

Thanks for following.  Check out all of Rodrigo’s collection here.  Moving on to Michael B. tomorrow.
