If you own or have access to
any Vigo County resources, and will do look-ups,
please let me know. As you can see, volunteers
are needed.
Take the time to read the following rules for look-ups. It's very time consuming to do look-ups and completely voluntary, so be kind to the volunteers or they may not stick around.

| Garfield High School Yearbook, 1922 Benedictus There is no index, so a requester will get the best results by supplying a class year or sport or something. However, Paul will be happy to "rummage", based just on a name, with no promise of thoroughness. |
