This entire issue saddens my heart once again. It seems every few months the "old school hose" condition is discussed and unfortunately it seems to be a doomed situation. I for one feel frustrated that I live so far away and can't rush there in hope to find that one missing link in my family - that gg grandfather that appeared in Grainger, fathered a few kids and then poof he was gone. Well poof the records are going to be gone in the winter snow and rain with no chance of re creating history. Tragic. Will someone who is right there living this nightmare situation in Grainger please e-mail me directly I have a few questions. Thanks Kay
