Quincy 8mm

The home of the Marini's. These videos represent the moments there & those of Clara, Dan, Linda & Janet throughout the years, including highlights from Linda's 8mm reels.
During the late 50's, early 60's Dan also filmed several family moments when they visited Pleasantville. These were never seen by the NY families until I discovered them in 2007 when I was archiving the data from the tapes. Here are the memories from those years edited together.
This single page links everything!

A combination of my parent's & my brother Doug's restored 8mm with Dan Marini's Pleasantville visits.
Dan's films are long gone with only a fading VHS copy available. The VHS (vob) files were pulled/converted/enhanced to the best possible quality. Dan's near 16 minutes of Pleasantville footage intertwines with ours in chronological order.
