When I bought my first batch of acid free paper a few years ago, as I was standing in line to pay for it, I saw that it was made in China. I started to laugh and thought, "Good luck with That, girl." We can only hope that they are using better quality control methods than they do with dog food, dry wall, and other things; so I just cross my fingers and hope the stuff lasts til the next generation works out all the bugs. BTW, I got the black paper albums for photos, and tried to use a white pen, with not a lot of sucess. I just saw somewhere the other day that one needs to use a white PENCIL. I really wondered how they did that in the old days! Nancy
