I'm just going to save them.

I read the expiration date on that roll as October 1946.  My dad came home
from the army and the Philippines that year.  I was born nine months after
October 1946.  If they were going to put my conception on film, they
apparently forgot to take it out of the...uh...box.

Here's the unopened 8mm.  Price $2.65 from a gift shop on Virginia's
Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park.  From slide sets I found,
we were there in the summer of 1964.
