How true, and I do hope that all will one day make the journey. The library and the staff are GREAT.

What they have been able to do is remarkable, especially considering what is available from archives of other states. Besides, it is a great excuse to visit a remarkable library and other wonderful resources in VA.

Perhaps Brent and the Library can conceive some future plan whereby many of us could pay a modest amount regularly for such access to a greater number of records.

Oklahoma is a long way from Virginia.
