In 2001, we unearthed Dad's Kodachrome slide archive of 1950s and 1960s Idaho.   The metal trays held some 2000+ hand-dated images revealing remarkable stories of our cultural heritage; the Clearwater River before Dworshak, Highway 12 before paving, a ‘58 Chevy at Lizard Butte, teardrop trailers blanketed in snow, kids soul-deep in wilderness and historical marker signs along the way.  As the images roll, the melodies and lyrics pull you deeper into the magic of rivers and mountains still wild,the world we inhabited then.

Thank You for encouraging the preservation and presentation of our Father's historical images of 1950s and 1960s Idaho. This time tested, Labor of Love.

The archive will soon be viewable online,  as a permanant Special Collection at the University of Idaho.
