My Dad' and Mom's 8mm films from the 1950s and 1960s

And that's all folks, that's the last of the 8mm films my Dad shot in the 1950s and 1960s

My mother bought the 8mm camera and a projector by saving Green Stamps. Remember those?

Here are my mother’s annotations. The film is not in chronological order. I don’t care. Don’t watch if the fact that this stuff is out of order bothers you, you’ve been warned.
