I'm not sure what's going on in this batch of 8 red bordered Kodachromes. Are these Margaret Hodgson's parents? You can see a sign on a factory in the background of one photograph that reads Lancashire Felt Company. That means we are in the North West of England. Are the little houses some sort of factory-related housing? Most of the shots are not focused crisply.

4 of those tiny viewing window slides, 3 showing a woman posing coyly or demurely behind a sombrero at a swimming pool. The shots are somewhat risque because the suggestion is that she is posing with nothing on but the hat. Slides have reddened with age.

No date on these 5 slides but they appear to be early 1960s. There are a few pictures of an outdoor theatre performance and people gathered around a lake or lagoon for an event. There is a sign that reads, and I suspect that it's in jest, "Olympics '62."

No date on these 5 slides but they appear to be from the early 1960s. They are mostly of the family gathered for a holiday or event and outdoors on Summer holiday.

A mostly faded, mostly reddened batch of slides from 1960. I think that most of these are from Cedar Springs. There is a Cedar Springs in Washington and in Michigan. I vote for Washington.

21 Kodachrome Transparencies from 1962 of what seems to be a family gathering. Only two names appear on the slides - Jim and Marg. Jim's slide indicates that the birthdya cake (Jim was born on 3/13/62) is a replica of his room.

18 slides from 1962 documenting Joan's wedding, a backyard patio gathering and a single picture of a boy in his graduation gear. I don't know if Joan or The Graduate are Hodgsons or not.

55 slides from a vacation in Wyoming. Many of the shots are faded or blurry. What makes people want to get out and wander amongst bears? I wonder if being raised with stuffed bears dulls our survival instinct.

A dozen rolls of film from the Frederick Hodgson family at 14439 Anola St, Whittier, California. Was the Hodgson family your neighbors? The family also had ties to Downey, Vista, La Habra and La Jolla, California. I think Fred's parents lived in La Jolla. His wife Margaret N. Hodgson or Margaret R. Hodgson was an artist. The slide boxes are marked
