The involvement with photography goes back several generations in my family,
Chuck.  My grandmother had her own photo lab in the basement of the farm
house when my father was born in 1903.  She started taking Kodachrome slides
prior to WWII and focused on farming activities on the homestead with the
east range and foothills of the Rockies in the background.  Nice stuff! 
They document a combination of horse-drawn and mechanized farming at the
eastern end of the flood irrigation region along the St. Vrain River.  I
WILL dig them out and make them available -- when I get caught up on tractor
repair.  :-)

A cousin in Colorado has gone through the images again and again with me to
identify and date as many of them as we can.  

My mother did her own photo processing in Boulder during the 1920's.  She
was an accountant/clerk at Greenman's Bookstore in downtown Boulder.  Among
other things, she did film processing and printing for the store in its own
darkroom.  She had a flair for the artistic, and some of her shots are
really outstanding.

Another cousin gave us the life-long collection of roll film negatives that
she had accumulated (over 500).  They were stuffed in a paper grocery bag. 
Most are simply family occasions, but among the images are shots of the P-80
"Shooting Star" when it was at the San Diego airbase at the end of WWII.
