Aren't you a breath of fresh air...I remember how difficult it was (money wise) when I was going through graduate school....what a great opportunity you have given to everyone. I for one, would like to take advantage of this offer. Sometimes something good comes out of bad (breaking the rules)...can you send me what you feel is fair for both of us; your efforts/time for what I would like to find out?!!

I'm a college grad student in Washington, DC. Recently, I have been doing some personal family research at the Archives, and realized that I could be doing this for people at a much quicker pace than the people at the Archives. Generally, a request received by the Archives takes several months, at a minimum, to be processed. So, being that grad school is expensive and I could use a little bit of help to pay some student loans, I am offering to do military research (service files, pension files, etc) at the Archives. The fee that I would be asking for would be reasonable, so as to compensate my time, printing costs and postage for what I will send you. If you are interested, please just email me at texlabooks@gmail.com Take care. Kelley ______________________________
