I would hope so. But it has been my experience that most have been dumped
reather then saved. Although I may be pleasantly surpised. While working
in the Galesburg Office I had an agreement with the janitor when ever any
drawing would be thrown out to let me know so I could dumpester dive. One
nite a set of drawings for the Aurora Depot were thrown out. She brought
them down and placed them on my desk. The Society now has the originals.
When we find a Better storage spot then under Dave's layout I may get rid of
a bunch more that are taking up my storage space.
