: i like both - this seems more of an "official" role than an "upholder of tradition", which might just be your grandmother doing something a certain way. I'm not sure which is meant in this context, but I would guess that this was more accurate

: good option for an academic target audience; if it's a more general text, I'd prefer Terri's 'keepers'
