Dear DC ExLibris Community,
Such a sad event--Gene was an active member of DCExLibris and I know I will
miss him terribly. Please see notice below.

I’m sorry to have to report that Gene Dickerson, died on Saturday morning,
about 5am, at Georgetown University Hospital, after a long battle with
cancer. Gene joined the Bunche Library, US Department of State, in 2006 as
the Cataloging Team Leader. From 1996 through 2006 he served as a Unit
Head for the National Library of Medicine. Gene was serials librarian with
Villanova University Library from 1986 to 1996. He received his MLS from
Rutgers in 1982.
Gene’s great cataloging skills, high productivity, and systems insight will
be sorely missed. He always stayed current with changes and innovations in
our profession. Few people were as dedicated to Librarianship.
His friend, Ken Plonsky, plans to hold a “Celebration of Life” for Gene’s
friends and colleagues on January 7th, which would have been Gene’s 60th
birthday. That’s from 1:00 to 5:00, at the Van Ness North apartments. Ken
has reserved the “Van Ness Room.” The address is 3001 Veazey Terrace NW
Washington, DC, just two blocks from the Van Ness metro stop on the red
line.
