  <<  Of the items the Archives has, the one item we don't have are past 
employee records - I assume that they were kept up in Cleveland where the EL was 
headquartered, but what happened to them after the CR takeoever I can't say - 
we get many inquires asking about information on a past employee or relative, 
but the fact is, we don't have them.  With things like sensitive medical & 
personnel records along with recorded social security numbers, they were probably 
destroyed... 

Regarding the material in Crawford County, (Meadville) PA., I don't have much 
information on the group responsible there, or in terms of their accessiblity 
to the vast amount of material I've heard they have, but if you were able to 
get information from them, can you share with the list how you were able to 
get access to those records?, as I'm sure there are others out there that would 
appreciate that information... >>
