As you may remember, we are engaged in a massive project to electronically capture all the marginal references in our Record Books. This project requires employees to tediously flip page by page through every Record Book, then manually enter each reference as it is found…As the months rolled by we all sometimes felt like the “Little Registry That Could” (We think We can, We think We can)…and yes finally, there is light at the end of a lonnnnng tunnel…We are closing in on the end of this project. We have capture 500,958 references as of today (April 28, 2006)…we started on book 4215 and are presently working on book 72…that means we have finished 4,143 books… with each Record Book averaging 450 pages that’s a total of over 1.8 million pages examined…We have developed an attitude at Middlesex North that no project is too large if you are persistent…I know, I’m bragging, but I am proud of this accomplishment…1.8 million pages, page by page…this is truly an incredible effort by our staff. I estimate this project will conclude by July 1.
