I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.
This set continues a batch of slides that I bought on eBay a while back. I don't have as much to go on as to the ultimate origin of these compared to the previous batch I was working on. They came to me from eBay and most likely were picked up at an estate sale by the seller. Most of them seem to be taken in the 1960s and same individuals are included in many of the photos. It looks like there are some that were taken in Miami and some that were taken in New Jersey and perhaps elsewhere. I get the impression that Miami was a vacation spot for this family.
The first photo in this set was processed in February 1969 and it looks like the featured couple had just gotten out of the pool. This could have been somewhere in South Florida. Otherwise it was probably taken in the Summer of the previous year.
The second photo as processed in March 1968 and shows the same couple kissing. I THINK I can see a Christmas tree in the background (on the right side) and they are dressed in red so I'm guessing this was taken somewhere near Christmas 1967.
The third photo was processed in April 1969 and shows some kind of celebration. There have been a number of photos from events in this same place but whether they are all from the same event or not I can't be sure. The one event I have identified is the anniversary of the couple seen in the pics above (and throughout many of the photos from this batch).
The last photo was processed in June 1969 but looks like it shows the same location, and again the same featured couple. It may be that they had an anniversary party multiple years at this same location. It looks like a church basement or something similar to me.
