Very touching video. Cool to see your entire family including grandparents. One detail I noticed that intrigues me: How each family enjoyed their meal separately. No mixing among the families., no putting all the tables together and sitting helter-skelter to visit with those one doesn't see very often. I'm trying to remember if it was the same with my family and relatives.
Dad had a Leica rangefinder camera when my sister and I were kids. I have no idea what model it is but it looks impressive; brushed-chrome shiny with black engraved numbers on the dials and buttons, all wrapped up in a brown leather case. It's in my possession, somewhere, along with a brick-red felt-lined locking box containing two lens filters. A friend of mine, a photographer and camera collector, wants to buy it. I'd give it to her if I ever find it. I wish my dad had used a movie camera like your dad did. I love the way he captures images in motion, people doing things, being a family, interacting with the camera, as your film shows, bringing us into the gathering, along with your narration of the event. Thank you for introducing me to your family and your smiling baby sister. She's a peach!
Very loving of you to present it so nicely Warner. Sad she's gone - Neal
