Riptrack44 - that's a very kind offer.

I know that Ray and the board did look at this option, in fact I offered my own services when the foundation was first discussed. Ray explained that the pure numbers of documents involved, plus the secure and "environmentally friendly" conditions under which they are stored, somewhat negated the opportunity for individuals to assist unless they happened to be local to Springfield.

Since that time we've come to realize the complexity of the scanning and manual keyword categorization processes. We now know it's a job for a specialist agency. That's precisely what Ray selected, probably the best outfit there is at this kind of work - even our Government use them I believe.

It's a pity as I'd have liked to be much more involved. But I do understand the situation and hope you can also.
