Marguerite Hutchins was a teacher who spent her summer vacations traveling and doing Younger research (in the days when teachers didn't have to take courses in the summer). She belonged to the Friends of the Youngers. When she died, her family donated boxes of unorganized but well documented research to FOTY. The organization considered having her notes photocopied but it didn't make the material available for the members to use it. Stupidly I volunteered to organize the material. It took me five years of constant and dedicated work. This way her work was preserved and it is available to anyone who wants to have access. The last book was a compilation of the three previous ones with a poorly (I fear) done index. I donated all rights to the book to the organization so that they could get a little income to continue their work of preserving the Younger history.
