TGIF folks.

In grade school back in the late Leave it to Beaver era no one had a backpack except for going camping. We just got good at carrying books in a stack with one arm. By high school I was always carrying a camera case back and forth to school. As a senior I carried a 35 mm SLR with three lenses and a Hasselblad with strobe that had a battery back that was the size of a loaf of bread and strapped to my waist. I had a 80 mm normal and a 150mm telephoto with two extra film backs. I had room in that case for a couple of books but it got real heavy real fast. By the time I was a junior in high school I also owned a 16 mm cast iron Bell & Howell movie camera with two 400 foot film magazines, and a zoom lens. That sucker paid for my 914 but did not get carried to school except for one occasion.

I never had a backpack except for Boy Scouts for a year. At Porsche Parade they gave out backpacks as the goodie bag at registration for years. We use the backpack from the 2010 St Charles, IL parade to haul the lap top to and from the airplane and the Hershey 2005 backpack is used for my electronic gear on vacation. I have many different computer backpacks from Porsche Parades.
