Aunt Gloria,
We are doing fine these days up here in San Jose and hope this finds you well and in good spirits. Mom and Dad are hanging in there in Hemet and in decent health, thanks to Jehovah.
I recently took my dad's old 8mm film and had them digitized for DVD. Now I am going through them and making copies for the family. Most are in good shape after almost 50 years.
Here is what is on this DVD:
