Kari's Childhood Videos
East Patchogue, New York. 1975 - 1976
My parents recently had some old videos digitized. These are from 1975 - 1976. It's all the same footage - but there's
a 33 minute version, an 11-minute version, and 3 one-minute snapshots that have different music and slightly different
highlights. The music and highlights were auto-selected by the people who converted the video.
ONE-MINUTE SNAPSHOTS

Opening scene - Donovan Salerno playing with my parents' dog, Ralph.
Many scenes of me, my mom, Donovan and Ralph. There are some good shorts of my mom with her parents.
The little while dog at the end is Fritzee (Ralph was killed by a train.)
