I've heard of some folks with kodachromes that go back almost since it was on the market, I think sometime in the mid thirties. Your dad's slide is a keeper, if for no other reason than it's a neat record of his youth and points up once again the great value of still photography as a family record. Thanks for sending it along as I'm sure some the other older lads will appreciate it as much as I. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
