     Slides slides slides.  Our dad was crazy for slides.  It was a distinctive postwar tradition, especially popular, one would think, among modernist, innovation-minded, hobby-oriented GI Bill engineers and architects - men like Harry.  Over the years he accumulated a mountain of slides - of people, buildings, bridges, interiors, landscapes, streetscapes, golf courses - lots of golf courses.  Thousands of golfing slides relegated to history's dustbin.  We are not kidding.  Thousands.

    This Minnesota photo gallery, as extensive as it is, represents the cream of the slide crop.  Harry was a very good photographer when he put his mind to it, which was sporadically.  Sadly, he took precious few photos of Grandma, Uncle Ed, Aunt Grace, or other people whose stories are told in these pages.  Still, despite its lacunae it's a pretty fun collection.  Dates are film processing dates stamped on the slide.  Not all photos here are slides, though the vast bulk are.

    We begin with Minnesota photos before 1958, the year Harry evidently adopted photography as a hobby.
