Archivists served me in the present this week, 3 times--records that unlocked secrets of my biological family's past. It was pretty amazing, actually. They were awesome. I'm not speaking ill of librarians here. I appreciate them too.

You're selling yourself a bit short; libraries serve posterity as well.

that is true!

the profession is a commitment to the future, which is something worthwhile at a time when it seems so perilous
