UPDATE TO ONLINE YEARBOOK AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

Our new publications provider has added a new feature I think you'll like.  Please visit our new publications bookcase here, or navigate by using the left menu, clicking on "Publications (Yearbook, etc.)".  Once you are there, you can click on the "VIEW" button or the picture of the publication, then use the 3-dot menu (. . .) for each publication to zoom in or perform some other functions.  I suggest you use "fullscreen" as this will give you the best view.  Hope this works better for all of you.  If so, please let me know by emailing me at info@aahs1970.com.
