Hi Fred,

Haven't seen any Atlantic City - at least my thief wasn't there that night.

1699 XXX attached.  I made an 8x10 fdor you so don't lose much sleep over
this jpeg.  I have it in vertical with the left side cropped out as well.
Your choice.  I'll tell you I'm really glad to have this one back (all of
them really but particularly this).

me he had the slides and that they were available.

who collected them from various sources, and, as I found out, not only had
he bought a series of my views from Joe Saitta at TSI through normal means
but he was also the person who rifled my collection at a slide show I gave
in my house for 8 people in 1970 and made off with a number of gems.  I'd
always wondered who ripped me off (I mentioned the theft to all parties but
accused no one).  This person is the one responsible for those for some very
obvious anti-theft devices sprinkled liberally about, especially in my photo
albums (any gap has a small note reading "no photo here."
