The youtube listings at http://www.youtube.com/user/rachelsgramps#g/u has emerged as the West Point Class of 1964 site for various videos.
Although Youtube videos are limited to 15 minutes or less and cannot contain any copyrighted material, they do provide an efficient way of broadcasting info on our class.
Several of the videos have already been posted on WP.ORG but are of such a large size that the either require long download times or exceed bandwidth for some of our classmates systems. The Youtube approach overcomes these problems. Unfortunately, a few of the videos contain possibly copyrighted music and on these videos the audio has been disabled by Youtube and all you get is the visual presentation.
Posted videos include:
– Angame, submitted by Mark Brennan. Includes images of participants at the Adams home who came to cheer the Army Team during the AN game this year.
– Senic Images of West Point. Photos taken by Roy Jones during the 45th Class Reunion at West Point.
