The World Premiere!!
As promised, here is the drunk driving movie my father made for the CHP back in 1979.
It stars my mother (as his wife, of course), our next door neighbor Ann Boatman as the granddaughter and various neighbors, friends, off-duty CHP officers and me, in a very short cameo (I run to the car, see if you can find me).
It’s corny, but as you know, it’s the only talking and walking film I have of my dad. It’s a little over six minutes long, so watch it when you feel the urge.
It’s called “What Happens To Me?”.

Yep, that was me, running to the car in my lovely plaid shirt and white pants.
Believe me, when mom is dealing with the officer - I've heard those lines and seen that face many times before!!
I have no movie or tape of my Dad, not a single note of him playing in his band or anything.
I found a cassette recording of Mom I did back in the 80's and after I listened to it for the first time, somehow the tape flipped over, and now it plays backwards. Could only happen to me lol...
Did I say this already? Sorry I might have, but so glad you have some film and audio of your folks.
Once they are gone, you realize how important it is...
I'm glad you shared this with us....a good lesson to all of us about drinking and driving...
Love ya lots

It's really cool that you have this film of your folks. Even if they ARE pretending to be drunk out of their minds. :) They did great with the acting too!
