Merry Christmas OGR Forum Video

Don:  What memories those movies trigger!  I'm going to have to dig out our family's old 8mm (not even Super 8) movies and review them.  Bet I haven't looked at them for more than 25 years.  People were different, trains were different but everything else looked so familiar.  (When one light goes out the whole string goes out!)

 

Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

As one would expect from you Don; outstanding!  Thanks for putting a twinkle in the eye of Christmas.  Man when was the last time you saw family dressed up like that for  Christmas dinner?

 

Merry CHRISTmas to all and may you all have a safe and prosperous New Year!

Fantastic video, thanks for posting this

 

John-

Thanks Don, that was awesome!

Brings tears to my eyes...

What year was the first part? 30's?

Thanks all. The year was 1941. Don

Brings back memories!  Thanks Don.

Merry Christmas.

Beautiful job  --  well done! Perfect for the season, the memories, nostalgia, the sadness of all that having drifted away over time, generations; but watching this sure does warm my heart.

Thank you Don---such a pleasant video.  Had a chance to talk with 2472's fireman at Santa Rosa show two years ago.  He too is a good guy.  Merry Christmas, Jim

What is amazing to me is most of these color shots taken on the evening of Dec. 24. Only 17 days after Pearl Harbor, yet there were still smiles on everyones faces. All these lives would never be the same. Mike, the little boy lost his father to a heart attack in less than a year. He still has his "Teddy" that his grandkids love. Don
