Renaming and Truck Logs

By Whitney Knowles

With the start of this work week, I have been deep in truck logs. I am writing them down so that we can input them for future use. The American Truck Historical Society  has been busy with finishing and connecting the loose ends for the show. So I am doing the work that still needs to be done, even if we are unsure about how it will come together in pass-perfect. I have two walls of files that need to be written down and it only took me 3 days to finish. Pretty proud of myself for it. The logs of bodies, mud flaps and colors are important since truck lovers need the information for upkeep and restoring old trucks. They call the ATHS for help when they come to dead ends in their research.

The rest of the afternoon I have been redoing the names in the data base. Pass-perfect needs to have information inputted the same way or the data gets mixed up. I was told to look over all the names in the data base and make sure that last names go before first names. It took awhile since the data jumped all over the list but I think that I have gotten all the names redone.
