Rt. 53 and Maps

[Jim Holland]

Greetings, Bill!

	I am going to work with Fred on getting his film transferred to video
and would gladly work with you as well.  As I mentioned in a previous
post, let me contact the company I used before (a professional company
that does work for the TV stations) and then I shall contact you and
Fred and others (?) concerning conversion.  Film should be insured and
possibly registered to guarantee delivery!  Will discuss later!
