I did, too. Especially after I began to document and make copies of my own. Yes, I can put them into a computer file on my flash drive, but could my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren plus grand and great, read and handle the pages as they do with other valuable and historic books? Now that I have, they are being read, remembered, and shared with other extended family members. Color coding makes it a simple organizing system, come see.
