A friend recently gave me a slide projector. It somehow came up in the course of conversation that she was on her way to drop it off at the Goodwill or the Salvation Army and I told her that I’d take it. We have hundreds of slides of our home and property dating back to the 1940’s when my grandparents bought the place. And I thought it would be preferable to view them on a screen or a white wall, or however one looks at slides, rather than holding them up to the light.
