SULLIVAN FAMILY VIDEOS
top
On Wed, February 10th,
Mary and I met Betty for lunch in Chico.
Heather had written and asked us to bring a laptop
to lunch because her mother had a surprise for us.
Betty's dad, John Flynn an engineer and forward
thinking kind of guy, had taken lots of family
movies. Betty, also a forward thinking kinda
gal, rescued and preserved the movies. She
presented the DVD with the movies of her as a young
girl (Young Betty)
with my father, Paul, the wonderful Wedding movie (Ted and Ethel's Wedding)
of Mary's mother and father, Ethel and Ted Sullivan,
and the priceless movie in the Edmund Sullivan's
backyard (Sullivan Children Summertime fun)
with all the
youngest children and grandchildren of Daniel
Sullivan.
Betty said 'there are
lots more movies where these came from' promising
more memories and conversation to come.

- Kathleen
and Betty and Reggie...
- the
video of Sullivans in our backyard
on Lincoln Avenue having some summer
fun is FANTASTIC!! Can't wait to
watch it again and again and check
out the other postings in the last
few days. Thank you for new insights
into our childhood...who would've
thunk?
- Joan
trying to go down the slide is
funny, but Kevin trying to impress
by riding a tricycle for the camera
(he looks like he's about
13-yrs.old) is priceless. And it
looks like Uncle Paul is out for the
count with all the activity! Kev,
do you want to check in on this
one..what's up with the trike?
- Thank you all again for making my
day!
- Hey,
Reggie, Nice sun suit. xoMeeg

.....And you were in the pink
dress......on that two person
swing-thing... alone....want to talk
about it?? :)
Also ....can swear it looks like Kevin's
slacks are cinched above his
waist.....
This is great fun.

Megan and
Regina:
They are
above the waist. And those tenni-runners...classic.
I was wondering
whose home this was. You Edmund Sullivan's
ruled on the slide and swingset.
Love, Kathleen

- Reggie,
- I was
clearly demonstrating at age three, no
less, that I could command a dual swing
solo. Impressive actually! There's one
point in the video where we all look
like the Flying Walengas, everyone going
every which way. I'm surprised the
equipment held up!
- Yes,
Kevin's pants look like they could have
walked away by themselves. Connie
probably bought them a little roomy as
he was still growing; surprised he could
still breathe they were cinched so high!
My pink dress is cute, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong ~ think that
Megan/Kathleen are 3, Janet/Joan 5,
Reggie/Michael 6, Laura 7, Greg 8 1/2 and
Kevin is 10 (not 13) What age does that make
Tina, Roger, and Barbara?
|
Kathleen |
You're right
about Michael being 6 yrs. I'm 4 yrs.
