How many boxes of records are there? Does the possibility exist that a letter-writing campaign to state and county officials may produce a safe place to house these records? If so, let me know the names and addresses and I'll do my part. It also would not hurt to have several newspapers write about this. Maybe you've already thought of this, and maybe it's been done ... if not, it surely couldn't hurt. Maybe someone will come up with a place for them from such publicity. Like Kay, I'm not able to come there and physically do something about it, but I'm an old hand at stirring up some people that can do something about it.
