Neal Flomenbaum tenacious will to get THE MOVIE acceptable for it's world premier and home on this blog was simply incredible.  Neal and his son worked tireless for quite some time to convert the super-8 film into a higher quality digital DVD.  I merely converted that DVD into an acceptable web format for viewing here! Very very very cool.  Brings back LOTS of memories ... for example: I only

Sun Dec 20 2009 - New York City - At 3:00 PM EST today, the only known copy of The Perils of Francine was found at the bottom of a closet in a residential building on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The discovery ended an unexplained 44 year disappearance and an intense 18 month search by one of the Flomenbaum brothers, long rumored to be the inspiration for the successful Coen brothers film makers

A blast from the past!  Mark Flomenbaum gets the credit for this one!  How many of these people can you name?  I'll give you a hint - I'm in the picture ... and yes, everyone has been identified ... well, almost! Send me your guesses and I'll let you know how you did ... the winner get a basket of crab apples ... and maybe a pass to be next in line for the ping pong table!  Seriously, look

I received the email below from Morty Eisenberg (Helene's big brother), and I've taken his suggestion. Can you tell (a) which person is Morty? (b) which person is me? (c) and who everyone else is in this blast from the past????

Responding for my plea for pictures of what everyone looks like today, I got 2 more responses; one from my cousin Eliane Lederman alongside Rosette Lederman Ben-Benyamin's daughter Dana (nice). Eliane is a GREAT source of jokes for me all year long! Keep 'em comin'!And the other picture is from Harry Feder, standing alongside President Obama!

Toby asked the question many had ... what did Helene (and Morty) look like way back when? Helene generously sent a photo of a candle lighting at someone's Bar Mitzvah ... and lo and behold, Helene and Morty are watching the candles melt!

Apologies for not being able to get to this post sooner ... I promised I'd post your pictures, so here they are ... along with some excerpts of emails that I received .. hope you like 'em.

Last one ... my eyes and ears are too tired. Fran Abramowitz emailed me saying she really couldn't identify alot of loonies at the reunion. So in my final round of editing, I added a bunch of photos, and tried to put identifying captions on them ... hopefully, that will help. A little music, a couple of transitions, and voila, the finished product.All in all, a great day ... I think we captured

Sorry for the delay in starting to work on this ... real life sometimes even asks me to actually work! Really! And I had to wait until the right wire to be shipped to me.

Dana Ben-Benyamen uploaded 58 terrific pictures to the Snapfish website. Honestly the easiest thing to do is to just log into snapfish.com and look at them there ...
