Dad "talking to you people on the computer" on Christmas Eve 2014

     Dad took time on Christmas Eve, 2014, to set at the kitchen table with my sister Teresa and I to capture a few memories on film.



There were eight clips captured.
     Here is a link to clip one...

Christmas Eve interview with Lester recalling Christmas years ago

     He shared Christmas at home as a kid in southeastern Kentucky at the foothills of Pine Mountain along Linefork Creek between Gordon and Kingdom Come, Letcher County, Kentucky.





     He recalled his brother Clarence making a Dancing Dan for him one year.  He recalled his oldest sister Ruth bringing home a turkey to cook for dinner.  Then he recalled hiding Easter eggs and his turn hiding eggs. Caney Creek College would come to the rural areas and bring a little present, and he recalled getting a comb from Japan just after World War 2.

     He recalls Christmas season when he moved to Indiana and would go back to Kentucky with kids and presents in tow.  Christmas for my Mom and her parents -Andy & Tudy.




     He has really enjoyed "vlogging" and has many ideas of what he wants to capture and share with the world, but mainly for the youngest generations so they can get to know him, too.



You can see the other vlogs as well if you click on the Short Acres channel when you watch Clip 1.
