From The Daily Herald (Provo, UT):
One day, Daniel Davis, the photo curator for Utah State University Special Collections and Archives, got a phone call from a Cache Valley resident who had an interesting request.
The caller said he wanted the school to find a particular photo of himself, as he had obtained his degree at Utah State University.
After Davis asked the man why he wanted that particular photo, the man said, “Oh, I think it would be a good photo to use for my obituary.”

Davis’ duties include: acquiring images by purchase, donation or duplication; working with USU employees and the public to find images and reproduce them; creating exhibits and publishing articles about the images in the Special Collections; conserving the nearly half-million images stored there; and conducting tours and giving classes about the Special Collections.
