I have the same slide-show memories. We had a "sparkley white sand" screen in a blue steel tube. Setting it up was a wrestling match in which I was outsized. We had the metal cartridges full of slides that had been placed in little metal frames. I remember the first slides being upside down, or backwards, or in the wrong order. At some point, the slides would jam like a typewriter. I remember the projector's smell and dust floating in the bright light. Some of my extended family members were world travelers, and I looked forward to seeing their images of exotic locations, though childhood energy had me squirming in my seat after about 30 minutes. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I look forward to future installments. This is a great idea Jim. I have the same slide-show memories. We had a “sparkley white sand” screen in a blue steel tube.
