Turn your sound DOWN!,  Movie projectors make bad noises…

This one is choppy and not optimized… but it’s a family movie my grandparents made when I was about 3 years old…  This film was shot in 1968 in New York and in California.  My brother Sal is in the beginning of the film,  He’s the baby, and I’m the blonde kid.  Both of my parents and grandparents are in this film, my Great-Uncle Frank and Great-Aunt Alma, my Great-Uncle Joe and other Great Aunts and Uncles who I don’t recognize after 41 years.

I remember the trip across the country in a blue Volkswagen, and I remember riding on the forks of a forklift in an open wooden bin, one used to ship peaches from the orchards.  I don’t remember much else.

The transfer is a little choppy and I will try to capture a smaller version so that it isn’t so choppy… but I hope my brother gets a chance to see it.

I’m in Omaha on business and the college world series is on the tube…  I’m going to try to go to a game tomorrow IF I can get tickets, for now I’m reduced to watching it on the tube as I write here.  Right now we’re in the top of the 4th… Texas is playing Arizona State… Score is 3 – 6 with Arizona leading and the game is heating up.  The inning started with a 6 – 0 lead and we’ve had nothing but hits and a home run by Texas as I write.

I used to watch baseball a lot, but I don’t anymore… Games like this make it interesting though.
