Morning all.
The boss at the old company is coming into town today to finish emptying the building. My partner has his 60 inch mower in the building. He used to mow the lawn there and just kept the mower inside. Now the lawn is 3 feet tall and he can get the mower out today.
The big question is what is going to happen to the fantastic archive of old negatives dating to 1947. Actually there are some images there from the 1930s, but those were bought from the national archives. Still images of every bit of Oklahoma and parts Kansas and parts of Texas dating back to 1947 is a treasure that should be preserved. They don't belong to me so not much I can do. If he starts to trash them, I will be sure to video it and make sure I can see his face. It will be posted to Facebook as a tragedy.
With some luck he will donate them to the historical society or a museum somewhere. The commercial value is not that high. We made 3 or 4 thousand on the good years from them. Zero cost to just store them, so it was pure profit. I will miss them like they were my own.
