Sometime after my third child was born I got some prints of my
wife's grandparents, which were mostly in good condition. This 
was about the time I started taking slides. I decided to shoot
some rolls of black and white, for the sake of any grandchildren.

That child is now 39, the Ektachrome taken then has faded, but
the BW is still good. I no longer use 127 film for color or BW,
but I treasure the pictures.
