Greetings;

I wish I still had some, but the storage locker all that was in, was 
cleaned out and taken to the trash by the lockers owner in 1981, 3 weeks 
before the next rental was due.  We, with rental receipt in hand, sued 
and got a tidy sum based on the contents of 2, 4" ring binders full of 
negatives, some with good commercial value.  But that money didn't 
replace a 30 year collection of negatives, 99% of which were developed 
in my own darkroom.

I've had a rather eclectic list of hobbies over the years, and that 
gokart was all in the 1959-1966 time frame, when I swapped it off for a 
tote-goat.  I did make some money with that camera, but not enough to do 
more than support the paper & chemistry bill to run the darkroom.

You don't be found to be an Ansel Adams when you are sitting in the car, 
waiting for the visitor to leave so you can snap a pix using IR film & 
flashbulbs, showing him and the house numbers in the same frame, with 
the prints being evidence in a divorce court.  Yeah, I even did some of 
that, till I found out the biggest deadbeat in the courtroom was the 
lawyer that hired me to get the pix.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
