Mark, The people at the courthouse have not been very nice since the Archives opened. They were never the most courteous people anyway and when the Archives opened they didn't think they were going to have to fool with making copies and all. The Archives still does not have everything that a person needs yet. We deifinitely need better people in those departments at the court house here.
