In the last couple of years I have bought so many 35mm cameras that still 
had a roll of film inside.  Most of the about to be former owners are 
surprised.  After rewinding it I tell them to take it to Wal-Mart, spend a 
few bucks and take a chance that there might be a real family treasure 
amongst the prints.

In a related vein, my late mother left a large amount of black and white 
prints she took during the war years in Savannah, GA.  At that time a lot 
of Army Air Force & Coast Guard men & women were in training there.  Most 
of the photos of the service men are of little value to me personally and I 
would love to send them to their families-especially those whose loved one 
didn't come home alive.  Unfortunately, Mom seldom wrote a surname on the 
backside.  Kinda makes it difficult to find "Bill" or "Richard", 
etc.  However, I can't quite bring myself to get rid of them.

Thanks for sharing the web site, Ali.
