Here is our weekly update for November 17, 2021. 

Wives of Sons and Grandsons

# Grandsons of veteran

# Wives of sons and grandsons

Total # veterans

% sample complete

90.7

 

·         We should be finished with the wives collection in a few weeks.

 

MVCC Update

·         Due to whiplash from a car accident the end of the semester approaching, Giles says that reports development for the MVCC screens has slowed significantly.

 

Grands Progress

·         Coralee continues working on the full count census merging process.

 

·         She is finalizing the grands dataset, making sure the codebook is current and data is ready.

 

·         She has the codebook up ready for us to review and edit.  We are trying to determine the best method for accomplishing this so that several of us can provide input.

 

·         Sandy completed the location coding, so Coralee will now incorporate those codes into the dictionary and then update the grands dataset with the new codes.

 

End of Project

·         Alterra has requested that Noelle send her a list of equipment that people have at home along with as much detail as possible, including acquisition dates.  Someone, maybe Annalisa, should be able to find this information on the server, probably in the last (2019?) tax inventory. 

 

Future Possibilities

·         Are any UCLA grad students working with the data that might have some ideas for future grants?
