Talk:David O'Connor (Egyptologist)

Lila Acheson Wallace Professor
In O'Connor's oral history he gives a brief history of how the role was established (quite an interesting story involving the endowment of readers digest stock that rapidly grew in value after it was given to New York University). I do not feel this is enough evidence to add this information to the article, or create a new page though. I have searched but can't find any information on the position's creation other than O'Connor's anecdote. If someone knows of a source that backs up O'Connor's claims (found in a video here http://www.ancientegyptarchaeologyfund.com/project/oral-history-project/), or is able to find a source that backs it up then please add a section in the article about the position or post here with the link so someone else can write it.

Hi David

I attended a lecture of yours when I was 15. I’m now 56. But still remember you telling me who invented the umbrella.

You inspired me to track that land 120.21.96.147 (talk) 10:26, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
