Some of them got rescued.  When my wife and I got into stereo photography a
few years ago, we became the recipients of my parents'-in-law red-button
viewer and the glass-mounted slides from their wedding.
    And speaking of weddings, and of my wife, am I the only person on the
list who's a stereo photographer and whose spouse is also?  I know that
Wolfgang and Mary Ann are jointly ViewMaster collectors, and of course there
are the Pinskys of Reel-3D, but many people on this list seem to complain
about needing to placate their spouses (usually wives) when they spend money
on stereo equipment.  Am I so unusual?
