Okay, do YOU volunteer to go through the nearly 50,000 files at Laurel 
level (duplicated at Kingdom level and also at local/Principality level) 
to determine activity status, one at a time? The sheer volume of records 
at this remove would make this untenable. I should know - I have the 
current files in my garage (activity from 1994 to present) and am 
attempting to scan to archive ten years of files so that the filing 
cabinets do not explode. Even having just 2006 to current in active 
files takes up almost a dozen five drawer filing cabinets.
