Default Should I be insuring these HOF photos from 1960s?

And Steve, glad you could use it!

David, since he is still around (86 and cranky as hell) and I have the shooting script and film prints, for at least one, and possibly all three, plus notes, etc, I think I should sit down with him and review the materials. Perhaps best thing to do is to transfer the film (16mm, I think) to dvd.

We still have a bit of raw footage that is of interest. I know there is one sequence of Babe Ruth that may be quite rare. Of course, film was transfered, if it was combustible, from that explosive stock used early 20th Century to 1960s stock.

I remember him opening cans of film which were turning into goo. Today, they might be able to save some of it, back then, because it was highly combustible, it had to be tossed.
