[PRCo] Re: 4366 on Nevergreen

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I have long ago printed out Fred's route card files and have done some
editing on them.  Most of that is copy editing.  It would be wonderful if
Derrick could proof it against the original information.

computer?  Because many schools today are not teaching cursive.   There will
come a time when trying to read those cards, which are in cursive, will be
like reading a foreign language.   But I need someone in the Pittsburgh area
to read the file at the museum and the cards to find out what mistakes I put
into them.
