I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
The first three photos in this set are all from a picnic in a park. There have been other picnic photos from this same park scattered throughout previous sets but whether they are from the same even or different events I'm not sure. I don't know if this was some special occasion or not. The date stamped on the slides is August 1965 so I suppose it could have been a 4th of July thing.
The last photo was processed in May 1965. The Christmas tree would obviously indicate this was taken closer to Christmas. I think this was a New Year's party so most likely this photo was taken December 31st 1964 or possibly January 1st 1965 depending on what time it was.
