END

Note to the Gunfighters from 69-71. We need to look at the records from 69-71 and see if they are even worth the effort. Most of the records after August 68 were not worth paying for. The images maintained in St Louis are very poor. It cost about $300.00 to get each year worth of Morning Reports, so we would have to take up a collection.
