*收到客户的E,不敢确定说的是否属实——保存了68年的底片！但事件本身， 是说照片本身很震撼， 这也许就够了：
Isn't is amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating? Fantastic photos taken 68 years ago——1941.and just recently taken to be developed. Some of you will have to go to a museum to see what a Brownie camera looked like?
THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM A SAILOR WHO WAS ON THE USS QUAPAW ATF-11O.
I THINK THEY'RE SPECTACULAR!
