permanent loan.

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
