I have mentioned previously that when we were not outside roaming and enjoying the freedom of the woods we found
some other pursuits to occupy us in the cabin.
Today while cleaning and organizing my bedroom I ran across one of those pursuits…..my grandfather’s Tru-Vue viewer nestled in the wooden box that kept it safe for many years at Brookwood.
When I was a child I traveled to far distant lands through the stereo lens of that viewer. It gave me a view of the workd from the cabin. An old, art deco era bakelite viewer allowed the viewing of small film strips. The films. of course were black and white, containe din tiny cardboard boxes. How they managed to last so many years in good condition I don’t know. I do know that I enjoyed them so immensely that when we left the cabin for the last time I requested and was given these little treasures.
As an adult I collected more of the film strips and at times when I am bored or lusting after a bit of my childhood I will take them out and once again view the world- a world much changed from those days!
