The time capsule from 1967. (SUNY Geneseo/Matt Burkhartt)
In 1967, Tim Richter and Linda Hurd Richter graduated from Geneseo and started their lives together as husband and wife and as schoolteachers. That same year, football fans watched the first Super Bowl, and The Doors released their debut album.

Fifty-seven years later, contractors working on the $35 million renovation of the library discovered the sealed copper box behind the building’s cornerstone.
