The time was circa 1960 - DVD copies of old 8 mm movies - 2011

..................................................................................................

Serge, Vic Roth sent me DVD copies of his collection of old 8 mm movies,
 that a mutual friend of ours had taken of him.
These included Vic riding a horse not unlike stinger.
Vic was attired like a wealthily experienced rider. The time was circa 1960.


The other movies included his wedding where I and my family
(mom, brother, and Dorothy etc.,) were also present.

The wedding was just a few days before I had my own party, on Couvrette Street,
where you were present with your girl friend at that time, 
as was Vic with his wife Maureen.

 The next morning I left on a trip with Denise.
These were times of rapid economic growth
and everything seemed possible,
and where market territories were being challenged.
I was thinking North America as a market.


Watching the DVDs brought me back to the days of “Integrated;” another world as we know it today.
For the moment the present society appears to me,
like the deck of the Titanic, before sinking,
with the only difference being the presence of ‘Horses.’


To conclude the moment, I am not quite certain how
this is going to impact my present way of thinking.

I do know, first off, that you must be made aware.


Serge I thank God you are here. I look forward to hearing from you.
Love Don

Personal movies - circa 1960 - and Horses

Dear Vic
I write this email immediately after writing an email to Serge under the same
conversation title. 1960
The impact on me of seeing your DVDs is amazingly powerful.
I am not yet able to understand how this is going to affect my future work here
on this earth.
It is I suspect a “To be or Not to be Question.”
 for us as individuals and as a
global Family.
Uncontrolled changes in our society are so vividly and obviously occurring.
Some few in the middle economic bracket are OK for the moment,
but the other two are at war with each other.
Our governments cannot provide enough forces to protect our basic individual
rights and there are “In the nest martyrs every where.”
Your DVDs at this time, vividly alert me to what has changed in our social lives
between 1960 and 2011.
I cannot thank you and Maureen in words alone. Beautiful family growth!
This “eventful viewing” of your of DVDs,
beginning (with Horses (1961) and my present life
with friends in Chesterfield, and Serge,
all being with horses in the now being
2011,
is speaking so very loudly to me. To dramatize the contrast even more I mention
“Bin Ladin and his love for horses.”
