from Summer 2015 issue of The North Texan magazine
Dreanna Belden, Assistant Dean for External Relations at the University of North Texas Libraries, an Amigos member, is the first librarian to serve as president of the Texas Association of Museums.
It's easy to imagine what dinnertime at the Specht house must have been like. There was Alice, who recently retired as Dean of University Libraries at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX. Across the table sat husband Joe, who until retiring in 2007 served as Director of the Jay-Rollins Library at McMurry University, also in Abilene. In the middle was daughter Mary Helen, who these days teaches creative writing at St. Edward's University in Austin, TX, and is an accomplished author whose debut novel, Migratory Animals, was published in January and is now in its second printing.
Each year, the Amigos Fellowship and Opportunity Award Program awards up to $10,000 to library and information professionals in Amigos member libraries to fund development projects.
