charles_stobbs3 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Verichrome Ortho or Verichrome Pan ? I think 1956 was the year of the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Nice find Gene. You are the undisputed king of found film. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 <p>Wow!</p> <p>As a Kansas boy I can relate to the ball team. But the dolls are creepy, and where the heck did all those trees come from? Hills, too?<br /> Obviously, Lenexa is a Kansas City suburb - my debate squad used to go there for tournaments, but while we could beat Lenexa, Mission Hills tended to crush us. :(</p> <p>Many thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou_Meluso Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 <p>Yes, Carlos, that is my hometown. The town of Lenexa was plotted out in the 1869. It was named for the wife of the Shawnee Indian Chieftain Thomas Blackhoof. Known in it's early days as the Spinach Capitol of the USA, one of the first residents of Lenexa was James Butler Hickock, later to be known as legendary lawman "Wild Bill". The annual Spinach Festival, along with the International Barbecue Championships are held here each year. Lenexa is listed by a CNN survey as one of the top 100 best places to live in the United States.</p> <p>As Gene shows, we Kansans take our basketball, and classic cameras, seriously.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 <p>Too long between found films, I was getting withdrawal symptoms!

rick_drawbridge Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 <p>Definitely a little spooky...And the basketball fans don't read newspapers nowadays...With a combination of basketball, spinach and classic cameras, Lenexa sounds a great place. Thanks for the post, <strong>Gene</strong>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustys pics Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 <p>Sound like Weed New Mexico was not far from Roswell. Who needs Aliens when you've got creepy dolls living under rocks? Cool shots. Them Cheerleaders were pretty too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
