can someone tell me what year this is from. i would be interested in seeing more. this is a really nice video.

@tbonebmf From various items in the film my estimate is probably 1940 or possible early 1941.

We have the complete film on VHS from which this comes but it is extremely poor quality. I will be in the Brazil area in the fall and will be happy to show it to you if you are in the area and are interested. If you reply please use regular email, leemotion@aol.com. Thanks for your interest.

@woodpolly Hi

It is going to be difficult to isolate the exact frames with your mother and father from the time. Can you describe their location (left, right, center) and what they are wearing and any other characteristics what might help identify them.

Please send these regular Email because I will need your address to send the pictures. My address: leemotion@aol.com

This is Fantastic, Do you have anymore of these, I will show my sister she is75 I am 55 so maybe she can recognize some folks in the film, I think she would have been going to Brazil school about that time. My grandfather was a custodian at Brazil schools into his later years after retiring from the railroads, maybe that is him with the broom, he dies before I was born.

@jheffnerphoto I made a DVD of both the good section and the entire poor quality video. I would be happy to send you a copy. Please reply to my email at  leemotion@aol.com. I would be interested to know who you are and when you lived in Brazil. My name is Lee Strosnider, I was raised on a farm near Brazil, went to Staunton HS came to Hollywood, worked in the film industry for 45 years and retired. I have my family farm there and spend time there most years. Lee Strosnider
