Since I've returned from Italy I've been filling in at our local archives as I often do when the archivist is on holidays. It's just open two afternoons a week but is a treasure trove of information. I've had some interesting visitors in the past couple of weeks and expect to have a busy afternoon today because it's the Centennial Celebration in our small town this coming weekend. It's wonderful that you and your husband are both volunteers!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-42212813157753080182011-07-26T08:26:46.155-04:002011-07-26T08:26:46.155-04:00What a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse of t...What a wonderful opportunity to get a glimpse of the past and be a part of something so important.
