H. Reid Photo Collection

[NW Mailing List]

Bill is correct, I bought several boxes of prints at Gaithersburg,  
small prints, large prints, contact sheets, a whole mix as well as  
some timetables and such from his collection. The folks from Old  
Dominion were quite nice and helpful to Ginny. They made sure the  
check I wrote was to her, not anyone else. As far as the Old Dominion  
folks knew, his negatives were supposed to go to Elon, but nothing  
had been done at that point.
