Thanks for the replies. The general date of July 1963 was taken right from the date stamps on the Kodak slides. We were also there in 1966 and 1969, so I’ll double check when I get home that I didn’t mix a later year’s slide(s) with this group.

When the 1963 year is confirmed, the date I’m specifically looking for is the exact day that the first ever second section was run. Seeing the dispatcher sheet info posted here, (absolutely super stuff!) I’m hoping it can be found that way.

BTW, I was wondering if old editions of the Silverton Standard were available online, but I can’t see that they are.

Cheers,
Ralph
