during our family Christmas gathering in 2020 we were talking about our family and the times we shared when I was growing up. This led to the discussion of the old 8mm movie camera that Dad had bought, according to mom, with a Christmas bonus in 1963. So a quick run through the various closets of the house produced 2 old punch card boxes of film. There were 80 films reels in all not including the few non-family reels (Underdog). So with the rest of the family's blessing I gathered them up and sent them to Legacy Box for digital conversion. The links below are the amazing results of their work converting these 50+ year old films. The content of some of these films will be entertaining to most but to our family that are absolutely priceless. I will organize them better and edit them down to remove the messed up portions in the future but for now, here are the full unedited films. Until I get more time to pretty up this page, you will need to use your browser button to back up after viewing.

   If you want to know more about any of these films, please email me.
