Hi Nancy, I am willing to do some typing also. I would take the Henderson area If you didn't get a volunteer for it yet. What kind of typing is this? Is it information that you need typed on the computer or do you just need it typed onto paper from out of a book? You can use my name for a volunteer. I live in Pennsylvania, so you would need to send me copies of the information that you need typed. I am not a fast typist, but I try to be accurate. I'm formerly from Adams Center.
