But then again, it was about 7 years ago that I last used it. So I guess that says something as to the reason Kodak stopped selling the film and now development products.MGDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454725335348427146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963337751631213467.post-68087356943742594932010-12-30T09:37:45.833-06:002010-12-30T09:37:45.833-06:00My father who will be 93 in February, 2011 and is ...My father who will be 93 in February, 2011 and is in excellent health by the way, worked for Kodak in Rochester, NY for 42 years. In fact, he beta-tested the Kodachrome film before the product was released. Kodak gave my family the ability to live the American dream. <br />My father-in-law worked for IBM. The company who helped bring the computer to your home. I can remember when he said that someday there'll be computers in every home. I don't think I believed him at the time. IBM gave my wife's family the ability to live the American dream.<br />My wife and I are baby-boomers. We didn't chose in what decade or century to be born. We had to deal with over-crowded schools, etc. and yet during the 1950's and '60's the LCMS Lutheran schools flourished and our nation did too! Yes, we were optimistic. We had every reason to be.<br />I don't know what the future holds for my family or the nation, but I'm forever grateful to God to have been born in this country during this time.Portwenn59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07280813636312204652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963337751631213467.post-54324341049269577412010-12-28T22:52:26.212-06:002010-12-28T22:52:26.212-06:00Barry Soetero's Obamacare Death Panel will tak...Barry Soetero's Obamacare Death Panel will take care of the excess Babyboomer problem. <br /><br />Say goodbye to grandma, Suzie.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963337751631213467.post-39002885088404121962010-12-27T18:30:13.584-06:002010-12-27T18:30:13.584-06:00See the yahoo news article, "Baby boomers nea...See the yahoo news article, "Baby boomers near 65 with retirements in jeopardy"<br /><br />"...The boomers, who in their youth revolutionized everything from music to race relations, are set to redefine retirement.
