Here is a great letter to the editor in our paper today. It is written by Alvie Davidson. He did a very good job. www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2003302140336&Profile=1037 A snip from the article: ..."The records stored in the Florida State Archives consist of such things as the original 1935 and 1945 Florida state census records, original Confederate veteran pension files, and the original papers of hundreds upon hundreds of former governors, legislators and Cabinet members. All of these records are held under ideal library and archival atmospheric conditions to ensure maximum preservation. The Florida State Library contains hundreds of books about Florida history, and many of them were donated by citizens. I have donated several books, which were authored by me, and I would not wish to see these books placed into a warehouse or stored somewhere that would make them inaccessible....." Thanks, Alvie. I am putting a shorter link below in case some have trouble with the longer one. It will redirect you to the site. http://makeashorterlink.com/?X69625873 Sydney Cardner
