This was a promo reel for other Viewmaster sets. To me, as a young child, it was a glimpse of all the places and things out in the world I wanted to spend my life exploring.
From Arizona...
At such a young age, I didn't even know what Arizona was. But it looked cool.
To Zanzibar!
This explains my innate love of coffee. The scene looked so exotic. I wanted to be there, experiencing it.
From the depths of the ocean...
I loved anything to do with ocean exploration - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jacques Cousteau, sharks, coral reefs, treasure. This slide captivated me.
To the heights of Mt. Everest!
This slide instilled a sense of adventure and exploration in me. I have no desire to climb Mt. Everest, but I sure admired the people who do it.
From the ancient wonders...
This explains my undergraduate degree in history. I loved studying the classics.
To outer space!
Part of a Liberal Arts curriculum is physical science. I always chose astronomy and cosmology to fulfill those requirements and I was fascinated by every minute of it.
The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say. ~Mark Twain
