Dear Tim,

send me a postal address and I will send you some rolls of AGFA Orthopan
25 film.

I will cover postage. I just sent some to Marty (Magid) and he was very
happy.

I have 35mm and 120 roll film...it's old but worked fine for me...

PS If anyone else on the list wants some...I'm a sucker for friends :-)

Love,
Snoopy
