Old Cameras and Frolic
Slides on View
by Mildred Roemer
Since the early days ol
daguerreotypes and tintypes
man has delighted in snap-ping
a shutter and transfer-ring
an image onto silver,
glass, or paper. During the
month ol July the Museum
will have on display a
number of old cameras,
German and American
made. There are lolding
ones, an autograph one, and
a Kodak #2 Brownie used in
1903. Along with daguer-roeotypes
and tintypes there
will be a 1911 lantern slide
projector plus glass slides
donated by Rev.George E.
Hardy, retiring pastor ol
Bethany Church. They were
owned and the pictures
taken (some ol Prospect
Park in Brooklyn) by his late
grandfather, named George
A. Hardy. Other gilts to the
Museum from the Hardy's
include a delightful 1880
bonnet worn by his grand-mother
and a 1900 dress.
One great joy to those work-ing
in the Museum is the lact
that everything housed there
has belonged to someone
either born in the Village or
lived close to it lor many
years.
Slides taken by Arnold
Koch and Jim Groark at the
1984 Huckleberry Frolic
will also be shown during
the month. Parents who had
children in the Baby Parade
can witness the happy
moments when the cups
were awarded as well as their
smiles while on parade.
These slides differ greatly
Irom the photographs on
view in the camera display.
Thedouble photos, stereos-copic
pictures, are viewed by
holding the steropticon
viewer by hand and seeing
the double image merge into
one, giving a 3-d effect, this
was a popular pastime back
in the 1800s and a far cry
Irom the Museum's auto-matic
viewer!

early so that she could go to
work the next day," Mrs.
Morrissey stated, "and there
were absolutely no problems
before she left. No one can
con>/ince me that she ran
away."
More than two weeks of
searching by the Nassau
County Police, led by Detec-tives
Quinn and Escher of
the 5th Precinct, have shed
any light on the mysterious
disappearance. Kelly's lam-ily
and friends have made a
canvass of all houses in the
vicinity of her intended
return trip to see il anyone
had seen Kelly on the night
of her disappearance. As ol
this printing, all roads ha\c
led to dead ends.
Mrs. Morrissey asks that
anyone with information
concerning her daughter
please contact the Lynbrook
Police Department at
599-3300.
