As part of the move, dad gave me six 50-foot reels of Super 8 movie film he took in the 1970’s. Cleaned and scanned, they look pretty good for their age (and all of us look much better!).
We’ve got three christmases (one with the Clarks, two with the Starks, with a cameo by Perry and Lucille McAnally.), plus two 1972 birthdays. Look for Don photobombing in the Ping Pong movie.
There are two movies from the summer of 1971, one rowing on Brooklyn Lake and one swimming in Louis Lake.
At the beginning of a couple of rolls of film are shots of the backyard on Allison Way, one when we first moved in (no plants), and the second a year later. These were probably test shots as a new roll of film was installed in the camera. 10 seconds of odd nostalgia.
There are a number of skiing sequences- this seems like the preferred use of the video camera.
