Thanks, Tina. I've got several large boxes of stuff, mostly Kodachrome 
slides, but some B&W prints and negs as well, going back to about 
1916(!) My Mom was the photographer in the family, and she took loads of 
slides (much of was were hidden away and never seen again until now).  
So this is going to be a long term adventure in photo-archaeology, aka 
"This is Your Life."

Hope you and the rest of the gang will enjoy it.  I know my cousins 
will, especially the ones whose house burned down in the 80s, taking 
with it all their old photos.
