Rt. 53 and Maps

[Vigrass, Bill]

Re: Movin'pitcher fillums. Come to think of it, I have one or two rolls of
400 ft of 16mm made with a Cine Kodak Special (I still have it)about 1963 or
so.  I loaned the film to Transit Gloria and they used portions of it so I
guess it became copyrighted.  Anyhow, I would be willing to loan it to any
dedicated PRC fan to view and copy for personal use.  Anyone lemme know.

Greetings, Fred!

	I shall be glad to work with you on this!  Let me look through my
files
this weekend for the company - I should then contact them next week to
see that they are still in business!  Then we can make arrangements for
shipping the film with insurance and possibly registered to guarantee
delivery!
