Re: Places to get slide film developed (was RE: [APML] Number of APMLmembers?)

Spoiled here, too.  In Houston, Thomas Photolab does an excellent 
job processing slide/transparency film.  Same day turnaround most 
days.

Might be worth contacting them to see if they'd accept mail-based 
film for processing.
