Back when Eisenhower was in office I would often look at my parent’s wedding pictures. Probably what I liked most about them is that they were 3D, color slides. Two small rectangles of film mounted on silver cardboard, sandwiched between two pieces of glass and sealed up with red tape around the outside edge. To view them they would be put in a viewer that had a bulb and some lenses to enlarge the image. An interesting novelty, but not as easy to look at pictures as an album is. After a while the box with the slides and the viewer sat in a closet for decades without being opened.

Which cousins are there and which are not
Here's some insight into which cousins are there and which [like zeena, for example] are not. due to the prolific number of silverman cousins, the high cost of weddings and the then financial pressures on nat stone, it was agreed after months of discussion, argument, wrangling and high-level negotiation, that in the case of the multitude of silverman cousins who were kiddies [thus excluding from the per stirpes limit seymour and shirley, molly's offspring who were both there, as well as stuie and ruth, mac's older kiddies], ONLY THE ELDEST KIDDIE per silverman sibling of rose would be invited. so don't look for cousin harvey, cousin sharon, cousins stan and owen, zeena or ellen, or sandy. and there was war at the time with harry and roddy silverman, harry being the next-to-youngest of the four silverman male offpring, so that whole mishpucha went unrepresented. within the 38-2/3rds months between the wedding and nat's death, he negotiated a major peace accord that resulted in harry and roddy and their kids robin and zelda being reintegrated into the silverman family.
