my late sister Sandy,
my late brother Charlie,
my late Mom and Dad,
my Aunt Gail and Uncle Bob,
and my brother Karl,
and me of course. I'm the little blonde kid in the red shirt with the huge head. And later you'll see me with my first ever pair of glasses as I show Mom the action figure someone gave me for Christmas.
In a way it's hard for me to watch because when I see my family again it brings back how much I miss them all since they've been gone. But in another way I love seeing all of my brothers and sisters jumping around and being happy. It's cool to see my Mom smiling again and to see Dad alive again if only for a few seconds. Ah well, enjoy the late '60's/early '70's hi-jinks of of me and my family.

Home movies, man...there's something indefinably poignant about them even if you don't know the people involved. I love watching stuff like this. And how sad to be one of the littlest monkeys jumping on the bed
What a delight!
So happy and sad all at the same time. You're family had no fear of kid party chaos - that's for sure! And I notice how you were largely absent from the frames until the cake scene. Hmmmm. Beautiful Xmas tree too. Thanks for sharing this Monkey!
Oh Dr. Monkey - how absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Thank you so much for sharing that.
i digitized all our movies
what a hoot and what emotional moments it brings
i hope these brought some smiles and pleasant thoughts and memories to you
these were great
That's is just great. And btw...I saw where you were trying to "pin the tail on the donkey!!"
Great home movie Dr. Monkey! Thanks for sharing!
Aw, home movies are the bestest. Thanks so much.
BTW, you were a cute and normal-looking kid... When did you develop monkey-itis?
You've had so much loss in your life, it's hard to imagine what watching this must be like for you. Thanks for sharing this movie.
Very touching.
That was lovely, and poignant.
How adorable you kids were! That must have been very bitter sweet for you to watch. I need to give that little blonde kid in the red shirt a hug.
At least you have the option of the video. I dont have a single one from my childhood, so your are right to treasure these. Thanks for sharing them!
Gone but not forgotten, Monkey. They left us a great guy to pal around with. Thanks.
Monkey, this was wonderful. Thanks for being brave and sharing. You're a very, very cute little guy in these movies.
You are a beautiful man, you know.
What, no cheesy soundtrack added? Thanks for that.
What a great home movie. I wish I had some of my childhood but we weren't a movie camera family.
Iheart-Neither were we. I'm not sure who filmed us but I'm glad they did.
