SAVING THOSE "SPECIAL" NEGATIVES!

      A lady was overheard at lunch the other day talking about if they ever had a fire in their home, the first thing she would grab up would be her picture albums. I smiled to myself and concurred.

      Today you would  have to gather up your smart phone, maybe computer, flash drive, a disk, and your album. Times have changed. When my daughter was very young and the first born, I took a ton of pictures of her with my old trusty 127 film camera.

     I always thought that the one thing that would be worth saving would be those pictures. At the time, we banked at the Iowa-DesMoines National Bank in downtown Des Moines. I rented a safe deposit box there and about all I kept for some time were negatives of those pictures. Most everything else I figured could be duplicated, but, not those treasures of my baby girl!
