Pay attention to locations! I stumbled upon a documentary video about Fort Knox that included a photo of my great grandfather who was a guard in the gold bullion depository. #genchat

So true and scary! #genchat Around my neck of the woods a lot of the public libraries have digitization stations where you can convert old movies (and other things) to digital for free.
