[Leica] Dr. Ted on CBC about Kodachrome

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

I was in my car today at 4:15 when I hear the announcer announcing 
that sometime in the next half hour they would have a bit on the 
demise of Kodachrome complete with some comments by 'award winning 
photographer Ted Grant'.

Unfortunately, as I was on my way to a meeting starting at 4:30, I 
missed it. Glad to hear Ted took the forward looking view, as we all 
knew he would.

In the present and future, the best thing about Kodachrome is that it 
hasn't faded like all that other brown and orange stuff from the 50's 
and 60's (and 70's and even 80's)! Ansco, GAF, Agfa, 3M, Ferrania, 
Perutz and early Ektachrome, good riddance!
