I got to work on editing and chronologizing (is that a word?) them to get them ready (which is why I haven't been posting anything here).
If you haven't taken a gander yet, or even if you have, I will be posting a few of the [unedited] clips here. This might be an easier format for sharing with the young folks.
I so wish there were sound on these, but the visuals are cool enough. :)
Tell me what your favorite ones are!
This one ca.1959. (the film reel was labeled Family Film 011)
Do you know who some of these people are?
This is what I came up with:
Art, 2 men on couch, M.E. in rocker, Jesse & ?, Bernice, Flo, ?, Inez
Picnic: David, lots of other people, Jimmy, Inez, a hand-cranked ___
Jackie, Gail, child on steps, lots of people, Jack, Linda, child holding pets, Gary, Jimmy
Donny on guitar, ? On fiddle, ? on piano, people on couch, Art? on guitar
On couch: Donny, Art, Gary & girlfriend?, Johnny Lee, Jimmy
Children: Judy, Suzonne, Little Donny, Denise
Linda, ?, Faye, Jesse, Flo, in the kitchen, food
Granny rocking Jeff?
? & Donny resting
Happy Valentine's Day

p.s. Some have referred to the entire collection as the "Denise & Gary Show." Rest assured, it wasn't because of the editing. The parts that were edited out were largely animals, images out the car window on driving trips, McDermott jobs, other non-family shots and a few clips where the quality was too poor to see what was going on. I think in another age, M.E. might have been a maker of documentaries!
