We wouldn't be here if it weren't for @brettbobley.bsky.social 's forward-thinking, strategic-thinking, in founding @neh-odh.bsky.social #ThanksBrett
*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.
