North Carolina, VA, and Williamson WV

I'm back to work transferring tapes!

Full tape copy, will be edited down into individual events later.  The JR/KR playing/potty/steps was not a good recording or recorded over another source and had tracking issues.  Best copy I could make is shown here but some parts have lines through it that I can't remove.

2005 - KR and Jordan Graduation Party

Spotsylvania, VA - 'Marye Road Party Pavilion'

Full tape copy of the 2005 joint Graduation Party for Kristen and Jordan.  Mostly dancing and a little Karaoke.  Luau themed party transformed Mark's shop into what we like to call the Marye Road Party Pavilion.  Look for the giant slip and slide Mark set up in the front yard!

Camera: VHS-C camcorder

1989 - Beach, KR 2nd Bday

Outer Banks, NC

A little footage at the beach in Outer Banks then KR Bday party!  Full videotape copy.

1987 - Christmas and Winter (full video)

1987 - Manassas, VA

Oldest video that has been found, and I think oldest video made with the new camera.

Christmas 1987
     *part of the Christmas footage and following events were recorded in SLP mode and appear to be more degraded than other footage.  This had to be recorded with a different VCR as first VCR had issues playing tape.
New Years Eve
Skiing
Pictionary game

1989 - Updated Moon Launch video :)

1989 - Manassas, VA

Used a different VCR and was able to capture all of the 1989 footage of J & K watching the rebroadcast of the 1969 Apollo XI launch. D & L (mom and dad) woke the kids up early to watch this on TV, much as people all across the world did back in 1969. This video is degraded more than others possibly (and I believe primarily) because it was recorded in SLP mode and dubbed onto a tape featuring the actual broadcast VCR recorded from cable then cutting into the home footage of the kids watching it.

Original cut of the launch video featuring partially recovered video and some of the broadcast.
