The Internets are amazing
When we post a letter of the day, we create a catalog record and link the author and recipient to the record. That gives us a fighting chance of finding that letter again. Just now, as I was creating the record for today's letter, I had a choice of several Reynolds and didn't know which one I should choose (one record had just the last name and another had just C. Reynolds). So I googled. Incredibly, when I googled C.R. Reynolds, the post I'd made 17 minutes before was the third hit on the first page. I love technology.
