My dad’s parents had a video camera.  There’s no sound.  Here are a bunch of snippets:

Interspersed with the videos of dad are videos of his brothers, Bob and Dick, at camp.

He’s literally strapped into his carriage to keep him from crawling out.

I don’t know but it looks more dangerous being strapped in.

It’s interesting how the adults are smoking at camp.

They’re watching the kids do their sports.

The grandparents are Mamine’s parents, the Keeneys.

One of Dad’s brothers is Bob, Robert Keeney Day.

His other brother is Dick, Richard Keeney Day.

His mother is Beatrice Keeney Day

His father is Robert Blake Day.

Phew.  That was a lot of work to get on the page!  It’s been a while since I’ve embedded YouTube videos and I couldn’t remember how.  Also, YouTube is a little different.  I had to show them my driver’s license!  And I had to use my laptop for this post.  All the rest I used my phone, just hanging out by the pool.

Wow it made me think a lot about my dad!  Of course I wasn’t alive when he was a baby, but I had lots of memories come to me from when I was a kid with my dad.  It’s almost like he’s still alive!  I see families at the pool and think of being at Lake George with my dad.  I remember him in his rocking chair on the porch.  He was always there reading in the late afternoon.  He had cocktails in the evening along with grilling dinner.  He wasn’t always especially talkative.  He was peaceful.
