1959 Kuhns Family Potpourri

1959 footage from two reels Dad spliced together. There is many places where the film has started to deteriorate, but I kept all footage as some good is better than none at all.

1.Eugene and Larry sleeping overnight on the front porch.
2.Eugene and Larry shooting some hoops.
3. Eugene packing his paper bag preparing for delivering on his paper route.
4. More hoops. I noticed I was shooting most shots left handed. Got to the point I could shoot left handed almost as good as right handed, just didn't have the range. Dad and Donnie joined us, and dad shoed us his patented underhand two hand set shot.
5. Mom harvesting the garden. Appears we had an excellent crop of corn that year.
6. Aunt Beat & Uncle Bill from Washington D.C. bringing Grandma Kuhns for a visit to Cortland,
7. Donnie sparking Joyce in his 59 Chevy.
8. Kuhns family reunion at Farmer Jim's. I see most of my aunts and uncles and their kids. The three little ones on the blanket I believe are Dawn Kuhns, Terry Cook and Brad Kuhns.
9.Phil Totten not liking the fact is is being filmed. Eugene helps him overcome the dislike. When I was a sophomore at the University of Cincinnati, he wanted to make the 5 hour trip one way with mom and dad. I was so surprised to see my little buddy when they arrived. They weren't sure how he we act during the trip, but he was so excited and was good as gold both ways.
11. Playing ball with the Totten boys in their backyard. I believe that is Karen Fisher swinging on the swing set,
12. Larry doing some work (very rare). It was a real pain to mow under those damn low hanging tree branches.
13. Family trip to Cook Forest in Pennsylvania.
14. More footage of Aunt Beat, Uncle Bill and Grandma Kuhns.
15. Feeding the fish and ducks at Pymatuming Reservoir.
