About - Got Memories

Overall Feedback:

In late 1940 the nation was entering World War II while simultaneously attempting to recover from a deep recession. My parents had been married for only 3 years and were renting a house for $50 a month. With only an 8th grade education, my 20 year old Mother was working in a laundry. My Father worked as a butcher along side his Father. They had very little income and a one year old child. It is difficult to imagine why he would invest in a professional quality, 16mm Bolex, camera at that time. I can only imagine my Mother’s reaction and the resulting hardships. With that said, it’s disheartening to imagine why he did not take steps to properly preserve the results.As you told me, the resulting DVD quality would be no better than Bad with some being Really Bad to Terrible was very accurate. But, the images were good enough! You were able to salvage images from 78 year old film of me as a toddler (which I had never seen) up to my wedding 54 years ago; images of my long deceased Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles; my wife’s deceased Parents; and so many others. There’s even a shot of my Solo Flight for my Private Pilot’s License in 1966. At almost 80 years old, there are so many forgotten memories, people, places and things. I was able to see them again. Very emotional for me. I’ve been writing my autobiography for a couple years with many blank time frames. You’ve helped me fill in many of those.Yes, it was expensive. No, I couldn’t afford it. Yes, it was worth it. I’m so glad I waited no longer with the risk of loosing more than I did.THANK YOU! You and your staff are miracle workers to say the least.You have my permission to use this testimonial in whole or part as you choose.Sincerely,George Beyers
