Thanks, Donna. I really suspect that they aren't worth much to anyone but us.
Lots of lovely pictures of the Rocky Mountains, the Southwest, Big Bend
National
Park, Chincoteague, Va., etc. They aren't really well organized - just sorta
in boxes by
area. I even have a carousel of cats. The wildflower slides are better
organized -
I do have one well-identified set of plants on the New York State Protected
Plant
List, and those I will be sure to give to the State Garden Club Federation
when I
stop showing them. One of my sons is interested in photography and such, but
he says he'll take them only if I organize them better. I also have boxes of
old
photographs - some older than I am - and I don't even know who all of them
are.
They will probably end up in a flea-market or just being thrown out.
My DH keeps saying he is going to spend time "next winter" sorting them out
and organizing them. He's been saying that for years. It'll never happen.
Thanks for your concern.

Auralie,
E-Gads, that is sad... can't you offer the slides to some library or
other gardening group in your area and include that notation in your
will or make your kids aware that is there intended place?
Maybe Chris (our leader here) might be interested in the wildflower
pictures for his gallery on hort.net?
If all else fails... have your kids contact me.... I will find them a
good and useful home.
