My parents shot these silent 8MM home movies around 1960. I'm the cute little blonde boy you see in the thumbnail picture, and also at the start of the film on the playground in second grade, walking toward the camera crying, then kissing a boy at 1:22, and being grabbed by two girls (I didn't like it :) at 1:39. Third grade starts at 2:15, in the classroom with my fellow students walking by the camera, and teacher Mrs. Clay, then outside playing some sort of game kicking around what looks like a basketball. The locations in the movies are Rapids City, Cordova and Hampton in Illinois, USA. Quad Cities.
