That was likely the lab in San Leandro. My understanding is that

That is funny. I have a box of slides done on 3/12/03

What is the code stamped into the slides opposite the date? If it is an
"N", then they were processed in Fair Lawn. (Though I notice the latest
slides I received from New Jersey had no lab marking.)

Funny, I do not have any such marking either. Just to satisfy our
mutual
curiosity I am going to call the photo shop and verify where they send
this film.

No need to confirm, N is Fair Lawn, Kodak/Qualex sends ALL K14 to NJ
and it's the last K14 processor in the Kodak system. San Leandro is
closed. This is fact.

FWIW, I've used A&I in California http://www.aandi.com for K14 but
they are going to discontinue processing it after March 2004.
