WOW!  I saw the 35mm version of this show at NSA '94 in Milwaukee and was
very impressed.  Excellent photography and great narration that is
unintentionally funny in these far more modern times.  You wouldn't see a
young lady in short shorts hitchhiking alone in the desert these days, for
instance. Wouldn't see her for long, anyway.

As I understand it, the Holmes Library owns the original projector and 5" x
7" Kodachrome slides.  That would be very impressive to see projected.  



Best regards,
