Family Heirloom

My parents bought an AE10 Canon in the early 80s that served as our only camera for years. My mom calls it a "family heirloom", although she says that about everything, including her Sacagawea golden dollar collection. She's partially right though - it was the first camera that went to my dad's house in India, it took all of my baby pictures, documented every birthday in the house...it has a Lufthansa tag hanging on it with an "If Found, Return To" address from three moves ago (<1994?). I wanted to study photography since my freshman year of highschool and never got around to it, so I'm glad I'm finally getting my time with the camera in the home stretch - only 6 more months of college!
So I finally know how to fully use it....although I realized that it's actually not hard at all - I'm just a product of the automatic generation. I found an oooold color roll inside while inspecting it and I've been looking forward to getting it developed. It's particularly promising: the camera was last used during Sapna's awkward years...what a treasure this could prove to be...
