You
and me both, brother.....
Peggy,
I understand your
feelings. The nearest FHC for me usually opens only
on Saturdays and
just for three hours. It has 2 projectors but only
one is in working
order. On my last visit I was shown a letter where
they were asking
for the films I haven't even reviewed to be sent
back. At this rate
it'll take at least a couple of lives to find all
my ancestors.
jah! Maybe I'll find myself in the next life!
Victor
