Annuals info.(Notes)



A lot of the papers were done a long time ago--they are relevant--some times I had help--and I would relate some of these things to them--and ask them to write them down--so it went and some of the people who were writing were young--so it goes without saying --I appreciated their help--but some were just starting out in the big world and couldn't handle work and writing at the same time--so some of the writing is a little hard to get use too--I was working at the time of dictation and so were they so we went back and forth--cause we were on a schedule and had to get things ready--for whatever reason--money mainly--
