Rod and Nancy Derby met 53 years ago as teenagers on a bus from Texas to Indiana for the annual National Junior Achievers Conference, or NAJAC.“I had my silly Instamatic camera, shooting pictures out the window, and Rod comes by,' said Nancy, as they flipped through the scrapbooks they've made over their decades together. 'Turns out he’s a real photographer. He was probably sad about what I was doing to all that film, but he sat down and talked to me about the camera.
