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!
