Hi Pat, The temporary location of the Allen Co. Library is really very nice. Most of their large collection is on open shelves like it will be when they move back into their rebuilt site. I think the renovations will be completed in 2-4 years. Our son and his wife moved back to MI last July from Ft. Wayne, IN after living their about 18 months. I visited with them often and we always went to the Allen Co. Library. Looking forward to meeting you.

Good Morning, Jeanne, Thanks for letting us know that the renovations will not be completed for quite awhile yet. I am looking forward to the completion. It really is well worth while to research there. I like the fact that when you sign in you can sign the surnames that you are researching. A quick check can be made to see if anyone else is researching your names. That has happened to me. Looking forward to seeing you in August, Pat Trocano Group 7 Board Member Pennington Research Association, Inc. www.PenningtonResearch./ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeanne Thomas" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 8:17 AM Subject: Re: PRA Annual Reunion > Hi Pat, > The temporary location of the Allen Co.
