Roy Robinson, a library technician with the Health Sciences Library on the Anschutz Medical Campus, was among the first to write in with a suggestion when we began asking readers to help launch Hidden Gems. This new feature debuts today with a visit to the Eisenhower Suite. Roy is among the many who have enjoyed the tour of Building 500's rooms where the president known as Ike recuperated from his 1955 heart attack.
"It is interesting to note that while he received the best medical care possible at the time," he wrote of Eisenhower, "today, any competent M.D. can provide a higher standard of care to the average citizen."
More Hidden Gems are on the way – next week we'll take you inside the Museum Collections on the Boulder campus, where the history of nature and science is cataloged in thorough, exhaustive fashion.
