General

18 SLEEVES. Michael, me, and crew climbed Tres Orejas, then visited a stock pond. They filmed me taking pictures of the mesa and ponds. These are the transparencies I took. Documentary, aired on "Colores," is wonderful. Box includes 3 sleeves of a mesa slide show that I had duped by Gamma in Chicago. Not bad dupes, not a bad mesa show.
