Scanning old photos from RevaBeth

One of the highlights of our Loveridge Family Camp the past two times was the slide show that RevaBeth put on for the benefit of those hardy souls who stayed long enough to watch it. She had culled through all the family photos in her possession and made about 150 of them into 2x2 slides. These slides were then shown to the group with a carousel slide tray and projector - a technique almost universal in the scientific and business world until about 10 years ago.

Those of us who saw the show expressed interest in sharing it with non-attendees but the expense of duplicating the slides as well as the difficulty in finding proper projection equipment were significant barriers.

Since I had recently scanned and converted about 1,400 of our family slides into computer jpg's, I offered my services and was pleased that RevaBeth agreed. I'm about a third of the way through the project, at the end of which I hope to have a CD available for anyone interested.

Here are some of the treasures so far:
