[Vision2020] Moscow, Idaho . . .

[Kenneth Marcy]

Developing the original film to a negative is one operation, and making 
a print from a developed negative is another operation.
The date on the back is at least the latter.  Whether it is also the 
former has not been revealed.

The photograph is interesting in that it reveals Moscow before my 
great-grandfather and his family arrived from Michigan.
The date on the back of the print is after the family, including my 
future father, moved to more northern counties.
