But it's one thing to have a filing system, and another to remember what you filed things under. Anyone else have that trouble? Where do you live? A visit to History House would give you an absolute pig-out on local Portland history. I do have some books which I'll list in a later message. Perhaps that's something we can do on this List - mention any books we own that may have info for other members. For starters, I have the records for MORTLAKE cemetery if anyone wants information.
