Over the Xmas vacation, I was visiting my parents in the old country  
and had occasion to sit looking through the "shoebox" (no negs.) at a  
few photos dating from around the early 40s and even found some shots  
I had made in the early 50s. And they are mostly still all good  
(print quality). B&W of course.
