| Below are some various items that the previous coordinator had in the Reid folder but had not incorporated. I make no guarantees how they are connected but perhaps the file name will help, which I include in this column. Additionally, there was a Microsoft Word document entitled Terry Reid Family that has additional information. I have converted this a text document of the same in case the Word document becomes obsolete. | |
