We produced it at Meisel Photochrome, which was a
big pro lab at the Six Flags Industrial Park.
My husband and I used to do a lot of business with Meisel when he was a semi-professional photographer (he also had a "real" job).
You don't happen to recall a great big guy (6'6", 240 lbs) with a bright red beard who was (and still is) a Leica fanatic?
