We have just been presented with two massive notebooks of historical documents on Deer Ridge that date back to about the time the property was built!

This 11″ stack of papers make absolutely fascinating reading – board minutes, incorporation papers for RML, annual meeting presentations, promises, excuses, provisional hiring, political force outs, side deals – the list goes on.

We have already begun the process of scanning ALL of this in as an Acrobat file that will be available to ALL owners.

This is a massive and time consuming project for both Jan and me – but we are doing this as a service to all owners at Deer Ridge – and will be adding this file to our “Documents You Can Download” section on the blog in the next couple of weeks – as soon as our schedules allow.

We have already found a couple of MAJOR “smoking guns” that will be used in our upcoming litigation.  The great thing about it being totally digital is that it is easy for all owners to have a copy – and also easy for us to send a copy to our attorney and to the Court.

Another great thing, in case you don’t know this:  Once it is scanned into Acrobat, it performs a complete OCR – making every bit of the documents keyword searchable!  (You have to download the file and open the file with the free version of Acrobat to use this function – but it works GREAT!)

That means that, on any of the Acrobat documents I have done for Deer Ridge, you can type in whatever keyword or key phrase that interests you – and immediately find all occurrences of interesting phrases like, Joe Thomas, assessments, walkways, master deed, etc.

Try it, you will like it.

Anyway, just wanted to give everyone a head’s up for these coming attractions.

Watch for the smoke – so you will really know “who done it.”
