Thanks, I think I'm beginning to recognize what you and Bill have said 
about why this was given to me.  So I think I'll keep them.

I don't intend to tell the giver about the roll of film in the camera 
until after I have it developed and see if there's anything recoverable. 
  My only such experience was discovering a 15 year old undeveloped roll 
of K2 of my own that had found its way to the back of a drawer.  It 
produced images but nothing to write home about.  We'll just have to see 
what happens.

Thanks to all for info and advice.
