Clara & Dan's 25 & 50th 1-3. Chris & Frank's 50th.

25th & 40th Anniversary

The family portrait at the 50th Anniversary.

Here's the first half of Clara & Dan's 50th, from August 18th 1990. Although I recorded this, I did not keep the original. Instead I gave it to Clara & Dan. Over the years I forgot about it until Aunt Clara mentioned she still had the video.

The photos below are taken from the video. The hands are quicker than the eyes, & Frank tries to prove it. This happens at 4:20. As I begin to focus on Robbie & Pat Camilli, I notice Frank's right hand (& I can tell where's it's going). He pulls Kathy's belt to untie her dress but Kathy's too quick for him, grabbing his hand before he can.

Part 2 begins with Angelina being asked to speak into the microphone. Confused she thinks it's a phone putting it up to her ear.

Clara & Dan's 50th FULL LENGTH Anniversary video can be viewed &/or download below.

To download just click the Mpeg2 link once you open the video & save it to your hard drive:

The 1st video was recorded by myself, the other by Frank Patane.

If you have email addresses &/or phone #'s of someone featured in these videos (especially on the Marini side, many of whom I do not know) please forward or show these to them.

Frank's video jumps a bit at x's. I've adjusted the tracking but cannot stop it from doing so. On the upswing he & Marie asked guests to say a few words & there are some gems. Especially Chris Gentile's mother who at that time was 90 & doesn't understand what's going on so she puts the mic to her ear saying hello like she's talking on the phone!

Considering most of the video's online are of 8mm it's wonderful to hear everyone's voices.

Take a step back further in time to Clara & Dan's 25th. Footage runs from color to b&w.
It was switched to b&w so it could be better lightened during the dark dancing scene. The same video is linked below it with (minimal) color intact :
