A request to Kilgore cousins: I was grateful that Randy Baker sent these 2002 instructions for searching the archives. I tried to use these steps but the windows that opened seemed to have different boxes that did not match these instructions. I may have misunderstood them, but my impression was that the process for the search has been updated so it does not match the process in 2002. I tried to email to Randy, but the email was returned. Could someone give me updated instructions for searching the Kilgore-L archives, please?
