After Uncle Harry rebuit the steps my father replaced the cement style railings with wrought iron. By the early '70's the garage was converted into my bedroom. The lawn expanded to where the driveway was. Years later the hedges were replaced with a brown fence. That's Mom & Mrs. Buzzoro, each in their "house dresses."

Elvis' "Memories," makes this slide show "feel good." Some photos are repeated from the above video. This wasn't intentional. Both were produced when there were lesser images available.
Diane's memorial video. A classic song from the '50's, Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk," creates the perfect feeling for this slide show.

What's an Italian house without PLENTY of food:CedroneTocciMangia, 8mm Home Movie Salude' At The Tocci's
Dan Marini recorded about 16 minutes worth of Pleasantville family footage from the late 50's to early 60's, which no one (in NY) knew existed, not even those featured in the 8mm. In fact he captured several important family events.

What makes this most important today is the original 8mm films are GONE. Disposed of after they were transferred, all that remains are two badly worn VHS tapes from the late 80's. I have since archived the files from those tapes. Below you'll see:
Doug's wedding, myself about 4 years old driving a car, Easter at my house, Diane as a BLOND, the day before & after Marie's wedding aka the Blizzard of '69..
Also mixed in with his daughter Linda's many reels from 45 years ago was the only known footage of Donald's wedding, which no one (in NY) including Donald & Barbara knew of until I asked to transfer her 8mm. Unlike Dan's links which are VHS tapes this is the original film:
This is a Memorial or Veteran's Day Parade in Pleasantville.
This is a slightly altered version. Notice the Westchester County Diner (aka Pleasantville Diner):Pleasantville NY Memorial Day Parade (1958)
