Sarah Sammis<p>July 4, 1968</p><p>Police force in the parade. But what has me curious is this exchange in the open windows above the street.

Sarah Sammis<p>Here's the next conundrum... I know from other photos in this set that they were at Disneyland. So... is this sign a Frontierland decoration from 1963 or were they camping in Orange County nearby Disneyland? <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlideScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlideScanning</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VintagePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintagePhotography</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ColorSlide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColorSlide</span></a> #1963</p>
Sarah Sammis<p>Next in slide scanning mysteries... who is the girl in the ochre shirt? I recognize Frances Jr. I recognize Frances Sr. I recognize Henry. The girl is a mystery except that I'm fairly certain she isn't the child of Frances Jr. and Henry. (I'm fairly certain they didn't have children). It's 1963 in this photo and Frances Jr. and Henry won't be married for another 10 years. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlideScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlideScanning</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ColorSlide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColorSlide</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VintagePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintagePhotography</span></a> #1963</p>
Sarah Sammis<p>Sometimes the smallest detail can help set the date of a slide. Here's a TV guide on the floor of the Coleman's living room. </p><p>And there's a TV cover art archive: <a href="https://www.tvguidemagazine.com/archive/suboffer/1970s/1971/19710410_c1.jpg.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tvguidemagazine.com/archive/su</span><span class="invisible">boffer/1970s/1971/19710410_c1.jpg.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlideScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlideScanning</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120MediumFormat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>120MediumFormat</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VintagePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintagePhotography</span></a></p>

Sarah Sammis<p>Genetics for the win here. I know he's Reid Coleman. She's listed as Wertman. Looks like she's his daughter. If that's the case, I can look up a Coleman-Wertman wedding and figure out who she is. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SlideScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlideScanning</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/120MediumFormat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>120MediumFormat</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VintagePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintagePhotography</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Michigan</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BattleCreek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BattleCreek</span></a></p>
