Piecing together the puzzle of 6 million burned military records | FOX2now.com ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Each day workers in north St. Louis County bring life back to historic documents burned in a huge fire. Marta O’Neill is the preservation officer at the National Personnel Records Center. She said it is a challenging job finding out what burned and moldy documents once said. O’Neill said, “It’s a very tedious and time consuming job and you can’t rush you have to do it right.” On July 12, 1973 fire destroyed 18 million military records. Six and half million were recovered. Some of those singed, some waterlogged. Many badly damaged. Scott Levins is the director of the records center, “We have records that go back to the Spanish American War.” The cause of the fire was never determined. http://bit.ly/1fVtJW7 Source: http://fox2now.com/2014/05/01/piecing-together-the-puzzle-of-6-million-burned-military-records/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1fVtJW7+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
