Congrats to Doug Chard and New Pics on Sidebar
Hi Michelle, It was Doug Chard (Debbie Kasdorf Chard’s older son) that got married to Ashlee Evans. Randy’s daughter Ashley did get married last February (2010) to Dan Nicol. The family tree just keeps “getting more leaves”!
Here’s a bunch of various Streus.
104 Year Old Film/4 Days Before the Great Earthquake
104 YEAR OLD FILM CLIP
“you are there” for a cable car ride in San Francisco “
This film was “lost” for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car.
The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. … How many “street cleaning” people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!
This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!).. It was filmed only four days before the Great California Earthquake of April 18th 1906 and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing, but true!
Great historical film! Watch the scampering as Joe Public
race away from autos, horses, cable cars and bicycles. <http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=NINOxRxze9k>
