A few years back, as a nice son-ly christmas present for my parents I secretly bought a slide scanner and scanned in 1000s of my folks old slides which lived in their loft, and presented to them for christmas on DVDs. It took over a month, and was the nicest thing I've ever done for anyone (even though I technically broke into their house while they were on holiday to liberate them from the loft). I thought I'd kept a backup of them all, but on closer inspection, my copies stop in 1973, which is a blow. When they're back in the country (December) I'll ask nicely if I can make another copy.
In the mean time though, here's a sprinkling from the early years:
