DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have some film negatives of my father while he served in the Army during World War II. Do you know if these negatives can still be developed into photos and if so, where could I take them? — No name, no town
ANSWER: Photo Finish at the Auburn Mall (across from Claire’s at Suite #9007), can help you. Go to mainephotofinish.com where there is an email form and someone will get back to you or call 783-3354. They love to help people preserve their memories.
