Hey, people make mistakes. At least your roll wasn't lost and the images gone forever. Next time it happens, though, as for a free roll. They'll give it to you happily. You could probably go back and get a free roll now. They are really a caring shop with good people. Sometimes the processors inhale a few too many fumes; sometimes the front folks fade out too. They're human; mistakes happen. Hope the vent on the LUG helped. I've had rolls screwed up all the time; it's not fun but it's no biggie. And they actually do good processing! Good luck, my friend, and relax, it's only photography! Bob - --- "Richard F.
