The staff are so helpful and know so much about the system, its amazing. Also the retrieval staff are so efficient when getting obscure records - I got through heaps of boxes and bundles.
Poor Frederick, such a sad part of his life, and I don't know whether he straightened himself up or just went back to his old ways.
