1959
1960
Sue and I are the two little ones in the 1959 video. We're in the early part of the 1960 video, too. The 1959 video was shot at Grandma and Grandpa Tompkins' house in Minneapolis. The early part of the 1960 video was shot in Kenner and New Orleans, LA. Sue and I were playing in our new backyard in Kenner. Mom and Grandma are watching us. Those are handmade kites Dad and Grandpa are trying to get off the ground. Those were fantastic kites. There must have been some kind of deal made for me to let Sue play with my fire truck, though. The later scenes are from the first communions of cousins, Nancy and Beth. They were shot in Minneapolis. There are some people in the 1960 video I don't recognize.
Loved the videos. I think that Gary and Janice were on the 1960 one. Fun to see Grandma and Grandpa. Post more if you have 'em. :)
These are courtesy of Elizabeth. I'm pretty sure there are more of those old 8mm films, Carol, but I have no idea who has them. I know Grandma and Grandpa still had that movie camera sometime in the mid 60s because I remember holding it. I also remember seeing at least one film that had to be shot right after the accident. It's fairly inexpensive to convert them to DVD. We should try to locate all of them and do that.
