"Landmarks of Poughkeepsie" & Patriotic Parade (1963)

Uploaded by: KKD1247
Video Description:
Here are two films of mine from the early 1960s:
"LANDMARKS OF POUGHKEEPSIE" - With a new YouTube introduction, here is an 8mm movie I made for a 7th grade civics class. It presented many of the historical sites of my hometown in New York State. I shot the movie and my friend, the late Chuck Dorfman, wrote the narration. Back then, it was so unusual to produce a movie rather than write a paper, the local Poughkeepsie Journal newspaper wrote an article about it along with a photo. I hope to find the audio tape of the soundtrack but in the meantime, here is the film along with some updated music.
Filmed: Fall 1960
THE RATIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION PARADE - Here is an 8mm home movie of mine from Poughkeepsie celebrating New York's ratification of the US Constitution. The event was held once every 25 years with a large parade down Main Street. You'll see me pass by playing the drum with the Poughkeepsie High School Band. Later, I arrive home. I played in many parades over the years but this is the only one that was shot with a movie camera.
Filmed: Fall 1963
