I am a huge fan of Colleen Moore,,and loved her in that old silent film!

In 1970, I was a young Engineer working at WROC-TV. Because of my photographic background from RIT, I was sometimes asked to shoot Community Interest projects for the weekend news. Kerry and I set out to capture the Lilac Time Festival, and we picked a picture-perfect day to go to Highland Park to see the flowers. Dean Close, a weekend newscaster, saw the footage and asked if they could air the film. Recently, I uncovered the film in my garage, and I had it transferred to video. This the result.

This must have been the 16mm Ektachrome with mag stripe for sound we used on those days. I am surprised that it still looks so good and that Thom was able to save it. After editing the original film and going through the film chain all was left was scratchy stuff.
