When my Mom passed away in 1994 I found an undeveloped roll of 35 mm
film, still in the aluminum canister. Took it to a local photo studio
(not one of those one hour jobs but a real photo studio) and they
developed the film. Turned out to be pictures made the day I was born,
September 23, 1939. Pictures of Mom and then Dad holding me as a
newborn, really caused a Wow! at our house. Value your Mom as long as
you can, my MIL lived to be 100 years old and we miss her now.
