She did not care about "pedigree," but required only a passion for music librarianship. And, on a local note, Suki was a member of several task forces and committees whose work culminated in establishing the US-RILM Office in 1984. That office (with the generosity of both Lenore Coral and Cornell) continues to document the scholarly literature of music published in the United States and makes significant contributions to the RILM enterprise.
