One of my favorite lots of slides ever. 32 red border Krodachones showing the family celebrating Christmas, Easter and birthday parties in 1956. They may have moved from El Dorado, KS to Tulsa, OK this year as there are two different addresses on the slides.

Four original and unpublished 35mm Kodachrome transparencies of the Vote for Nixon motorcade whooshing through Tulsa, OK while campaigning for the presidency in the fall of 1960. The one shot of Nixon and Patricia is blurry but there is no mistaking the face. His name is also written on the slide frames. The Daylight Donut shop pictures may be more rare than the Nixon photographs.

13 Stanton Family slides from 1960. The family is still at 7334 East Newton in Tulsa. The subjects include Easter and a visit to El Dorado, KS and some fishing at Adams farm. The superfluous third "daughter" (Inspired by Krusty The Clown's superflous 3rd nipple. I've also considered the possibility that it is a "jump the shark" baby. See Dodie Douglas , Family Affair.) reappears. Again, not sure if she is a family member or a friend/relative. They regularly put her in a dress mathing Sandy and Sherry's on Easter.

This is a beautiful lot showing a growing family in the 1950s and 1960s in El Dorado, Kansas (at 1010 Shelden - referred to as "Adam's First House") and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Tulsa address was 427 South 59th Ave. Grandmother Stanton may also have lived in El Dorado, KS. There might be a picture of you in this lot.
