Re: [videoblogging] A Video Connection to the Past

 Bridges to the past; bridges to others. Yes. Video helps us get from here to there too.   Didn't know the story of your father.   For all my troubles with my own, I wouldn't want to be without him.   My heart goes to you in sorrow and with thanks for this wonderful piece that brings me to cherish what I have.   Thanks for the reminder, Josh.   XO, Jan -- "It isn't done alone.

I was going through tapes of my families old filmstrips transfered to VHS tonight. I found that my father had filmed his crossing the Mackinac Bridge back in the 70's. I never knew my father, he was sick and couldnt really even talk when I was young. He died about 10 years ago... So when I found this footage and realized that I had filmed the almost exact thing with no knowledge of his video, my heart skipped. Some sort of connection was made with video/film. It may seem silly, but I hold dear to any fragment of my father, this is a fragment that really hit me...
