23 red border Kodachromes, most of an elementary school nativity play in the mid-1950s. Look at the flannel-shirted brutes in the front row in picture 10, just waiting for the play to end so that they can whale on Joseph as he leaves the school. "Merry Christmas, Joe." *push*

37 slides of Burroughs office equipment circa 1960. The first sample picture seems to be taken by the photographer but the others seem like professional slides. All but the first have reddened with age and most need to be cleaned.

A box of 25 Kodachrome transparencies from a family's Christmas gathering in 1967. I've noticed that Christmas trees pre-1970s look better. Decorating the tree must have been a bigger deal then than it is now. I know people now who have trees you essentially open like an umbrella and plug them in.

Nine slides from 1968. In some of the city views you can see General Tire & R.L. Polk & Co. You can also see Burroughs buses so I am assuming that it is a new or expired location for Burroughs. Perhaps Southfield, MI? Similar scenes are in one of the other rolls of film in this collection.

21 Kodachrome slides processed in November 1968. There are a few pictures of kids out at Halloween and loads of city views of perhaps Southfield or Detroit. There is one photograph of two policemen riding down a street where the businesses have windows broken out. The Blind Pig riots were in 1967 so this could have been the aftermath of some minor rioting following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in April of 1968. They could also just be patrolling an economically depressed part of the city.

About 300 slides from a Highland Park, MI photographer with a wonderful eye. Some of Roger's processed slides were addressed to Verseput Photo-Graphic in Ypsilanti, MI. Are you a member of the Verseput family? Did you know Roger?
