Dang, no story about, "My dad's part in the downfall of a major spy ring"

Sorry, We did once drive north early in 1971 on a business trip looking for a better paying job, like He already had, all the way to the northern side of the Oregon/Washington border, before turning around for Home, He had budgeted all of $2,000.00 for the trip up north, Mom only came cause He had the car and the checkbook, Me I came too, but I liked seeing new places, before that We went to Yosemite and towed a Scotsman rental travel trailer behind the car, He was heavily into slides, which I inherited and can't watch, as I have no slide projector... Yet.

You can have slides scanned for about 12 cents a slide. Just search "scan to digital" I have a slide scanner but it's much easier to send them to someone else.

Big thing in the 60's & 70's the old slide photography, not sure if slide
projectors are still available to day.
I was hoping that you'd say your dad did once get a Christmas card from a chap
by the name of J.E. Hoover, now that would have been an eye-opener.

Quite a few 2nd hand slide projectors on USA E-bay but they are asking silly
prices at the moment.

I can get a Kodak Ektagraphic III ATS Slide Projector with Built in Slide Viewer for about $150 w/shipping, scanning the slides would be $214.80 and I have around a dozen boxes of 140 capacity slide trays.

Me? I've never pulled them out, Dad had last shown them about 40 years ago, the slides are in excellent shape though. I don't know when He last viewed them though, after the divorce from Mom, I never saw them until I inherited them...

Note: I inherited the slides from My Brother after He passed away, I think He had Dads projector and screen at first, but that was gone by the time I got the slides, the trays are also in immaculate shape too. Yeah and My 4 Relatives would love to see their Dad and their Aunt when they were Younger and the slides go back a few years, Dad was really good at making good shots too.

The slides to add up. I personally had a collection from my own travels of over 2,000 slides. I started to scan my ex-father in laws collection which included trips to greece, rome, mexico, peru, and more. I found over 100 carousels and still have not counted all of the boxes. He was an artist and taught college level art history and painting classes. He took pictures of classical works and of landmarks. I have some great pictures of the Acropolis and Pyramids before WWII. I don't know when I will be done scanning. I have also sent hundreds of slides to be scanned. I do a few hundred at a time, when I have time.
