I put in an order where some mailers were paired with film and some
were not. All the mailers looked the same; not like the old days 
when the mailer was part of the film package.

Only sent one stereo roll and it came back in less than two weeks with
no goofs on Kodak's part. It was my first try with a Realist - utter 
disaster. More later.
