I knew a man, I held his hand, I was just a little child

It’s taken me some time to get around to going through the View Master collections of my Grandmothers. Back in August of last year, when she passed away, I went with my Brother, Mother and Niece to Prescott Arizona to attend the funeral service and to help sort through her home and tie up loose ends. Amongst these was a rather extensive collection of slides, only these were not your standard 35mm slides we use today. These were ‘View Master’ slides; just like the old View Masters you might remember from childhood. For children of the 70’s or greater, these are small discs holding 14 tiny slide images; 2 of each at opposite sides so when inserted in a viewer, each identical image is visible in both the left and right eye piece of the viewer.
