I still have a box of 35mm ASA 10 Kodachrome slides of Times Square at night, from a 3 day pass spent at the Y in 1951. My first visit to the Big Apple, I didn't have much time to see the sights, probably would have been too scared anyway. I do remember with anger being admonished to "move on" by some foreign uniform in front of the UN building. I was wearing my summer suntans too. At least, I wasn't spit on by any Americans; there was no "peace" movement during the Korean war.
I have in my possession probably five hundred or more kodachrome slides in boxes, part of the estate of a much older friend of ours who died about a month before 9-11.
Also about a dozen small 8mm film reels (Kodachrome Color safety film) some from the early 50s,some the late 50s,early 60s when he toured with the likes of Paul Anka, Tony Bennett, etc. He was a pianist and musical director who worked with these guys and many others. I haven’t seen any of the film but look forward to. I just noticed one reel marked HAVANA 1958. THAT should be interesting. Stuff from Latin America too. I have an old 8MM projector I got at a yard sale a long time ago, now all I need is to find a screen~ What can I view those slides with?
