DVD 20120117
So, OK, now life gets a little more entertaining. I’ve got another reel of film processed. It is called 20120117 and has the contents of the film reel can labeled “No 4″. Which would seem to indicate that it should follow the stuff on the reel labeled “No 3″ (which Dave just put out for your viewing pleasure).
DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!
It starts out with some scenics of God-knows-where, then back to Hawthorne Drive. But, (and here’s the kicker) some things just do not look right. The front yard lawn looks green, but the side and back yards are all rocks and dirt. The tree in the front is tiny. The awning over the kitchen window does not exist.
And ain’t that entertaining? I think this is probably the reel that should have been in the can labeled “No 2″. But I’m more than willing to listen to everybody else’s opinions on the proper sequence. I decline to accept responsibility for this error.
Should we blame Donald?
Lots of other stuff on the reel that doesn’t look all that familiar to me and much that does. One of the familiar things is another Peach Days parade. Comments! Comments! Comments!

The film opens with Casper, et al, on the front lawn. It then swiftly changes to scenes from the Promontory Point Monument area. And then, another Peach Day Parade!
Then we have a quick trip back to Hawthorne Drive, a quick trip up into the hills (Bear Lake?) and a return to Hawthorne Drive. ME, Don, and I in “sunday-go-to-meetin’” clothes and we’re off to Little America (In Wyoming, I think. Penguins, anyway.). And now back home to take Phil (in uniform?) off the the airport in Salt Lake City. Where Phil gets on a United Airlines plane with four big round iron engines and propellers. My, how times have changed.
Next we’re off to somewhere (Aunt Anna’s or Aunt Dorothy’s? Any guesses?) and back to snow in Hidden Village. Ray makes a snowman. Then off to another lake, somewhere.
I hope somebody has a better idea as to what’s going on here than do I. If this is 1963 (or later) then I’m living at the Delta Sig house in Logan and out of touch with what’s going on

This is the second 400′ 8mm film reel

My belief that it is 1959 is that there is an Edsel station wagon (I liked that car) parked in the driveway, “Have V8 Will Travel”
(I’ll let Bill explain) is parked out front, the “lawn” is a bunch of rocks and mud, and Casper is a puppy.
There is a lot of Dad’s usual unidentifiable scenery, but there are also a lot of people at least some of you will recognize.
And (I think) the Meeker’s station wagon towing a sled along the ice covered Hawthorne Drive.
