Chicago at the beach in the late 1950's

This film was in a box that was given to me that was full of my fathers belongings. On the side of the film box it said "Margarit Picnic" and was dated Aug 1959. In any case it is a nice picnic in Chicago when times were good. American cars were made and bought by Americans. It looked like a good day to be alive. Most of these people are probably no longer here.

What do you mean, "Most of these people are probably no longer here."? Bladerdash!! By your posting this, you have given them an immortality of which they could have never dremt.
