Filmed by Gustave Martens on June 15, 1946 in College Point, NY. A beautifully preserved 16mm Kodachrome home movie from 70 years ago!

I really appreciated this. I stretched my eyes looking for my mom, my aunts and uncles and grandparents. I bet some of them were there. Thank you so much for setting this to great music and for posting this.

Top draw music selection. The grand son is an excellent music editor as Grandpa was a cinematographer. Where was Dad when this was going on?

I only saw one person smoking. This film could pass for the late sixties because no one. No males or females for that matter are wearing hats. For instance males quit wearing hats fedora style business hats by 1968. Realize it is summer time but my father born in 1918 wore a hat daily till the year of the Woodstock music festival . 1968 I think. [ ut oh . On 3ed viewing at the 5:09 mark you can see a guy wearing a felt fedora style hat.] Yea. And no one is smoking, except for one guy which is definently unsual from my perceptive. My hobby is to identify photos and this film clip defies my usual consideration when dating a photo Very few boys in the picture are wearing suspenders . I saw a few and the horizontal stripe shirt like a polo shirt or tee shirt is a good way to identify a photo as early fifties . One boy in this clip wore a classic example . A blue shirt with red and white horizontal stripes. What dates this film is the military style uniforms and the profusion of the stars and stripes. The boy scouts all in uniform the Kiwanis club I'm Uniform ( the red ones) .
