Re: [OM] IMG: More family and NYC scenes, 1949-50

[Chuck Norcutt]

My father-in-law didn't take lots of Kodachrome slides but there are 
some of my wife when she was about 2 which would make it 1945.  There 
are also some of the Nevada desert (where, believe it or not, he spent 
his time in the Navy) during WWII.  Those are probably about 1942/43.
