Eldon Harding carried
a movie camera everywhere he went for fifty years (1940-1990). He
recorded a rich history of the Harding, and Clegg families and the Vineyard,
Utah community. One year before his death my father and I sat together
for five days, ten hours a day and recorded all of his old 8mm movies on
video tapes. He narrated each old reel. We ended up with six
two hour videos. While many of the films were of our immediate family
many reels were of extended family -- the Hardings, the Cleggs and the
Vineyard families we he grew up with. This video history 'Volume
I' contains many highlights of Eldon's earliest films. We would like
to share them with our friends and family. Please copy and share
the tape with anyone who would appreciate it. Enjoy... - Randy
Harding (7/99 - In time, I hope to compile another video to share with
you.)
