Harriet: This is exactly what I hope to do for some of my time off from college. If I can do the research and give that room of records some kind of order, then I will no doubt be ainding a lot of folks in due course of time, not to mention give me something to do in my spare time (who has that now adays?) that will allow me to get credit for future benifits towards my degrees.
