The New Hampshire library community was saddened to learn of the recent death of Jack Dunn. Mr. Dunn worked in the Reference and Government Information Section of the N.H. State Library from 1966 until his retirement in 1997.

A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Mr. Dunn received his MLS from Simmons College and worked for two years at the Boston Public Library before returning to his native New Hampshire.

An avid hiker and botanist, his extensive knowledge of New Hampshire nature and history was of great value to the reference staff of the State Library. Before his retirement, Mr. Dunn worked in the Genealogy section of the Library and compiled Genealogical Sources of New Hampshire published by the State Library. Known for his thorough approach to reference service he will be missed by his colleagues.
