Victor Dao
Earlier this week there was a small item on the 11:00 pm tv news A man had been fatally shot outside his apartment in Takoma Park in the course of a robbery. An older man in his sixties. It was said by some interviewed that he complied with the request for money but was shot anyway. That was grim enough. Then the next morning at work there was an email from our head of Access Services (what fancy libraries call reference and circulation) that noted that Victor had worked here in McKeldin library the past five years as a shelver. The Washington Post carried a small article on this in that mornings metro section. McKeldin is a big building, but I've worked here a while and I know everyone else who also works here, at least by face. I knew that once I started to think about it I would remember his. Eventually I did.
