I processed/printed B&W (Tri-X?) back in college. The school had the
capability of doing color but the intro to photography class I took was only
B&W.

I think my uncle used to process color print film when he worked for a
TV station as their photographer back in the early 70s, or it might have
just been slides, and I vaguely recall a buddy of mine in high school
would do it too, either at home in a darkroom closet (which really
annoyed his mom) or at the camera shop where he worked. I don't know
any details (it has been awhile! and I probably never did anyway...)
