UPDATE: I’ve edited the video below to slow it down a bit so faces are more visible. This process extended the length of the video and I’ve now uploaded it in two parts. The video below comes from home movies taken by my grandparents, Renie and Catherine Wilson, when they lived in the Avalos Colony. I believe this video was shot in the early 1940’s. If you recognize anyone in the film, please let me know! I hope you enjoy it.
