Lastly I would like to say that for the last 20 years I have been able to foot the bill for all of the films and other historical ephemera that I have been digitizing and sharing, but these days I could really use some help. I need a new film scanner. That cost is about $20,000.00 dollars I don't have. I have films here that I would like to post here but I do not have the ability.
