25th & 40th Anniversary!
The family portrait at the 50th Anniversary.Recently found! Clara & Dan's 25th. The film switches from color to B&W as it was lightened due
very dark footage,. The same clip is linked with (slight) color intact:

ALWAYS the perfectionist, this is a 3rd attempt to get the best quality under 60 seconds:Clara&Dan25th
Below are highlights from Clara & Dan's 50th Anniversary party. The fifth video is from Christopher Tocci's (their Godson's) baptism. Dan is his usual playful self. The last video is from Michael Tocci's Communion:

Larry & Frank Patane videotape each other at the same time duringClara & Dan's 50th Anniversary.Larry&FrankClara & Dan's 50th FULL LENGTH Anniversary video can be viewed &/or download below.
The first video was recorded by myself, the other by Frank Patane.
If you have email addresses &/or phone #'s of someone featured in these videos (especially on the Marini side, many of whom I do not know) please forward or show these to them.
Frank's video jumps a bit at x's. I've adjusted the tracking but cannot stop it from doing so. On the upswing he & Marie asked guests to say a few words & there are some gems. Especially Chris Gentile's mother who at that time was 90 & doesn't understand what's going on so she puts the mic to her ear saying hello like she's talking on the phone!

Considering most of the video's online are of 8mm it's wonderful to hear everyone's voices.
Here are their 1940 wedding photos (plus a few more) in HD & another HD slide show featuring a clip from the above videos:
Balzarini/Johnson Wedding
The wedding of Joyce Balzarini. 
Her parents Charlie & Mela are long time friends of Clara & Dan. Clara & Mela met when they were each in the hospital getting ready to deliver.

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.

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.
