About 500 slides from the Brannon family (Robert Brannon, Sr., Elma, Robert, Keith) somewhere near Dale, Indiana. Perhaps Evansville. I'm guessing on both of these facts as there was little documentation accompanying this lot. There camping trailer with a "The Brannon's" tag on the back pictured in one slide. The photo is actually a close-up of the plate so that made me feel good about that guess. I had two clues on the location. Many of the slides were processed in Indiana and there is a close-up of a scouts banner that reads "Troop 200 - Dale, Indiana."
Found another clue. One box of slides from July 1963 is labeled "Rob - High School Graduation, Eagle Scout." If he was 18 in 1963 he would be 67 now. I am afraid that this is our Rob Brannon:
Robert (Rob) L. Brannon, Jr., of Evansville, Ind. Robert (Rob) L. Brannon, Jr., 67, passed away, Thursday, August 23, 2012, at home. He was born March 7, 1945, in New York City, to Robert Lionel and Elma (Millhouse) Brannon, Sr. He was a proud American with strength, honor and courage. Rob was an Eagle Scout where he learned many skills that would later in life benefit him as he served in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant JG. He was alumni of U of E and a strong supporter of the U of E basketball team...
...Rob is preceded in death by his father, Robert L. Brannon, Sr., and a sister-in-law, Lu Brannon. He is survived by his mother, Elma Brannon; his life companion, Becky Bateman, daughter, Marissa Brannon; brother, Keith Brannon; grandchildren, Layne Titzer, Dawson and Grace May, Zoie, Grace, Drew and Parker Bateman; Becky's children: Jason (Erica) Bateman, Jamie (Kendra) Bateman, Jeremie (Ashley) Bateman; niece, Jaime (Daryl) Haney; and great nephew, Asher Haney.

Both Rob and younger brother Keith were in the scouts so there are loads of pictures of scouting jamborees and other scouting-related events. There are also Christmas, prom, graduation photos and a few amusement park photos from Santa Claus Land (Indiana), Boot Hill Museum (Dodge City, KS) & Horn's Cars of Yesterday (Sarasota, FL).
The bulk of the slides have reddened with age and will be priced accordingly.

Christmas morning, 1954. Piled around the Christmas tree and nativity scene you can just make out an orange metal grader, box of Lincoln Logs, Chemcraft chemistry set, Treasure Island bank, something called Cabby! or Caggy! and a tin car. That might be a BB gun in the black case leaning against the wall.

3 red border Kodachromes from a trip to Santa Claus Land in 1955. Rob and Keith are posed in front of the now famous waving Santa. Unfortunately there are while lines/cracks in the film. I have never seen this particular issue before on a slide. Usually the red frames hold up really well so it must have been processed or stored improperly.

1 slide labeled "President Eisenhower Car Jamboree." Since this was a scouting family and the word jamboree was written on the slide we can conclude that this was taken at a scouting event. Eisenhower was president of the United States of America between 1953 and 1961 and he is referenced as "President" on the slide so we now see the possible date range for the photo. OK, everything is coming into focus except for Eisenhower, who is a vague human form in a car stuffed with humans. Priced accordingly.

Two things going on in this lot of 18 slides from 1966. There are a few slides of a outdoor gather-around-a-fire event and an indoor Adult Easter party. The majority of the Easter party pictures are of the adults hanging out in the livingroom in formal clothing. There is one shot of the help - a black woman in a maid costume in the kitchen. I'm not picking on the family. It was 1966 so I know that she wasn't a slave and that she was being paid for her service. She may have been ecstatic to have the job. On other occasions they may have employed a white or Hispanic housekeeper and supplied them with similar uniforms.
