Lets see..... In 1968 I was 13. I had been "helping" (?) my Dad do his printing in the darkened kitchen of our family apartment for a few years at that point. When I was around 10 (lets do the math....1965) we were out there doing contact prints with an Ansco Contact Printing Box. My Dad used the ironing board as a work table with the Contact Printing Box and three 4"x5" trays.....it was magic! A year or so later my Dad bought a Federal Enlarger with a lens that used "Waterhouse" F Stops! I don't have a fine lineage.......... But I have been around a while............. I still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe a Cowboy or an Astronaut! PS........... You guys don't have enough money to get me into short pants! Russ R.E.
