Jackpot! I have been given 3 small Kodak film reels labeled "Marfa
Soaring 1970". How do I figure out if they are 8mm or Super 8? Not
marked on the reel. Also labeled "Kid's birthday party" so I want to
look at the film first.

I want to have these transfered to digital format and give one copy to
the National Soaring Museum. Anyone have a receommendation for a
transfer service in the USA? Are any of our SSA members in this
business of transfering film or slides to digital?

Dedication of Marfa as a National Landmark of Soaring by the National
Soaring Museum will be April 4 and 5, 2008. George Moffat will
return to the site of his winning the 1969 US Nationals and 1970
Worlds to be our guest speaker at the reunion / banquet.
