Arrangement

The folders are in the original order in which they were found in their owner's, Rick Ridder's, boxes. The papers are also divided into folders and labeled as they originally were. It seems like there might be some chronological order to this original organization.

All of these folders and papers were found in boxes from Rick Ridder and are labeled as such.
