Here is Jim with a book from the British collection. It is a book about Leeds, England, his first mission. We had heard about all these books in the basement but finally got to see how many there were.

And look what I found. My Utah Woolley book in the Pennsylvania Room! It brought tears to my eyes !( my name is on page 633 )
Our boss, Manny, from Canada came for a visit on his way back from Haiti. Since we will soon have 3 couples working together at HSP (historical society of Pennsylvania) with two scanners. We are all eager to do our part we took a tour of the basement at the Library. There more than 7,000 books in the British collection, Canadian 2,500 and about 2,000 photos from World War ll . These all contain important dates and history needed for Family Records. In our own Brown and Green collection we found about 300 from other Eastern States, some Foreign and some Bib (Bibles.) Our challenge with the books we found in the area that we are working is...there is no easy card catalogue system for these books. It is necessary for us to make them up. Fun times ahead for us. Presently we are serving with the Donahues. They use one scanner designed for over sizes books which we cant scan. We got to know all the Senior couples better this week when we had a party at the Mission home. We celebrated Memories of the Heart by playing Name that Tune. Funny thing was, the two teams ended up with a tie score,,, 21 to 21!
