Default Thank You

I just want to let you all know that TOTV members are GREAT. I posted this request looking for someone that had an 8mm movie projector thinking that most if not all people threw them out years ago. I mean we ALL made a major move south to Florida and had to get rid of alot of prized possessions, who would keep a 8mm movie projector in ths day and age!!!

Believe it or not, after my post hit this board, I had someone (who is practically a neighbor) contact me almost immediately and offer to let me use their projector which I graciously accepted their offer. ...and then I had another!!

Just tonight we previewed movies pics that were more than 50 years old showing my mom and dad in their mid 40's....it was just a great feeling to look at these movies and see how things were in 1959-1960. These are pics that I have some recollection of but seeing it on a movie screen..even 8mm brings it all back to real life.

I will not mention the gracious people who offered the use of their equipment for I sent them personal notes or thank you's......but you just cant imagine the memories (and good memories they were) looking at something like this brings back.

Thanks to all who responded and helped me have a Merry Christmas!!
