You must be a JW with a channel name like that! Great channel. A great resource of historic footage. Just subscribed.

[@19king14]

Yes, Actually I am. 19king14 started out as a "password" that I would remember. Then, when I started this KZbin channel, I wanted a title that no one else would have or even have reason to imitate. Thus the name! :)

[@SnowMenShow]

@@19king14 Me too. I go to Crystal Lake IL. cong. You do video editing or just digitizing video?

[@19king14]

@@SnowMenShow Good to hear. I go to the Easton Central cong. in Easton, Pennsylvania. I'm retired now but have my own professional film scanning equipment. Thus I digitize older films as a part time job and post any that may have some kind of interest here. Some of the videos I may edit to some degree but I'm not a pro at that, at least not yet. I also have a second KZbin channel; "Jehovah's Witness History on Film." It includes many home movies of the Friends over the years. There I even have all of the older films the Society put out in the 1950s and 1960s, some of their older slide programs, older recordings of the "super conventions" of those decades and even have a few videos I have made myself, just standing (or sitting) in front of the camera explaining and defending the NWT. If you know of anyone that has such films and don't mind that I post them for others to see, let me know. There is no charge for what I post on my KZbin channels.

KNICKERS WERE THE SWAG BACK THEN

[@vnonkwinn6233]

Everyone in this 8mm video is in the boneyard now' including the camera guy.

[@chapter4444]

I have pictures and video from this

[@19king14]

We will willingly digitize that video free of charge, as long as you allow us to post it here on our channel.

I wonder what this people would think of Holyoke now in 2023.

[@vashk82]

Just plain ghetto

[@fobbitguy]

Wow! When the US actually made things.

[@marcinna8553]

US actually manufactures more now than anytime in its history. It's just that the factories are no longer in cities and most of the work is done by machines.
