Lee Wissmiller (my Dad) was an early and avid shutterbug, taking mostly 35mm color slides,
and writing names, dates and places on each one.
I did not appreciate it as a kid, but he was an excellent photographer,
especially considering that the cameras of the day were totally manual.
It was necessary to set the aperture, shutter speed and focus for each shot,
and use flash bulbs in low light situations.
For many years, my brother George and I had been storing several boxes of Dad's slides
and wondering how to preserve them for the future.
Then the Glen Ellyn Public Library acquired a slide scanner that creates computer images.
I scanned the slides, copied the written info on each one and posted them all here.
Enjoy!
