We met all three measurable impacts we projected. We did create short term awareness of the importance of collecting historic memories, and we had great response that we were taking the project on. We did collect historic information that would have been lost otherwise to achieve our intermediate term goal. And, the information is now permanently available to the public which should have a long term impact.
