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 two photos in this set were processed in April 1969 and seem to be a continuation of the last photo in the previous set. I think this was the 25th anniversary celebration of the couple that appears throughout many of the photos in this batch. Either that or another event in the same place.
The third photo was processed in June 1968 and shows a photo of a birthday celebration also seen in a previous set. The guy's cake says Happy Birthday Johnny (I think) and the girl's cake says Happy Belated Birthday. I can't really make out the name...maybe Stephanie?
The last photo was processed in November 1966 and shows a man sitting in a chair. This looks like it is in the same house seen throughout many of the photos in this set that I assume belongs to the most commonly featured couple.
