March Madness 2022

This week I went through and rearranged some of my notebooks. Putting those that I use more often in a place where they are easier to get at. The other notebooks, mostly from my BYU classes and conferences are moving to the bottom shelf. Don't know that I will ever use them again. Later I may scan some of them. In the process I found some important records, like land deeds and census, that are now moving into upper shelves as I use them in the book I am working on. Plan to finish this project today. That leaves one other lateral file to search and a few boxes. I did place some loose papers in bags so I can either use them or toss them. Great way to kick off March Madness!
