Grandpa's Old GPS Unit

 

I saw this on Facebook and it brought back memories... kind of excruciating memories, but at the same time very happy ones.  Grandpa Bill Knutz had one of these mounted on the dash of his car for as long as I can remember.  For just an instant after seeing this picture, I was transported back in time, riding in the car with him, going a torturous 15 miles an hour down Ninth Street.  The speed limit was 20 mph but hey, you can't be too careful, right?  That said, Grandpa was never in an accident that he caused, and to the best of my knowledge, he never, ever got any kind of a traffic ticket!

Glass Slides of Huron

  Miss Louise French, a teacher of Latin and Fine Art at Huron College (Huron, South Dakota) for 25 years was also a photographer and specialized in making Lantern slides.  These slides are positive photographic images put onto a piece of glass and covered by a second piece of glass, bound on all sides with black paper tape. 

In past blogposts I have featured her photography from her many travels.  The following posts will be dedicated solely to her slides from Huron, which I have been able to date from 1928 to 1930.
