It seems that the more we get computerized, the more "old school" is coming back into vogue.
Just yesterday, my daughter was asked by a potential employer for a copy of her Social Security CARD.
Seems the number alone wasn't sufficient.
Well, old birth & death certificates, divorce decrees, and the like are usually required when you have only the vaguest idea where they might be.
My friend Sally Prangley just turned me on to this superb online company that Can Get Those Documents For You!.
You can thank Sally for simplifiying your life :-)
(I wonder if they can help my daughter out....)
