The name for this set of family slides ("U.S. Forces in Germany") is taken from the license plate of the family car. This series of nearly 900 slides opens a window into the lives of an American family living in Germany in the 1950s. The slides from the 1950s span 1952-1960, and then there are no slides again until 1976, by which time everyone looks very different. This set of slides primarily stars a couple of amazingly cute kids. These slides are organized in two sets, reflecting the order in which I received them. The first section contains nearly 400 slides I plucked from a dozen Argus Slide Magazines. These slides, all of them Kodachrome, were virtually spotless, without even a speck of dust on them. I had to force the slides out of the magazines, indicating to me that these slides had not been looked at for a very long time. The remaining sets of slides were stored in cardboard boxes and include Kodachrome, Pakon, and slides with no brand name printed on them. All slides were scanned with a Pacific Image PowerSlide 3650 Slide Scanner.
