We have a VERY NICE experience going there with Dr Loyer most helpful and his volunteer just as nice and helpful. The archive is open only certain days and times so call or e-mail ahead. It is easy to find in the Lycoming College Library. -- Carol Courter Updegraff PO Box 222 Glennallen, AK 99588-0222 cupdegraff@cvinternet.net Locations I am researching include Lycoming, Clinton, Centre, Snyder and Northumberland Counties in Pennsylvania.
