However, I thought maybe the good fairy saved my exposed roll and it was
still in my pocket and I'd actually taken an unexposed roll when I
re-loaded. Please!.

Yep Ted that's it, you've been there!!  Souping film and
punching hypo??  Oh yeah, still got the metol poisoning
to prove it.  Do ya remember exposing 25 or so 8x10s
of the same view, fanning them out and throwing them
into an 11x14 tray of dectol one on top of the other in
2 second intervals?  "Those were the days" eh?

Back to the disaster, as I replied to Tina, at age 22, a
bit of humble pie is a good thing.  Unfortunately, I
inherited a chain of bakeries for that blunder.  The
weird thing is I hadn't thought about it in over 30
years but reading the rewind thread brought it back
as clear as if it happened last week...I guess ya just
never forget traumatic experiences like that.  ;-)
