Update August 9, 2010:
Mike Humble asked me to volunteer to be the chairman of the history committee. I think that’s the same as being appointed! Since neither of us knew what the job description might be, I agreed. I’m already looking for a volunteer to take over that might know what to do!
A Beaver brand seminar was held at the Harrisburg International Rally. The moderators were Mandy Canales, Wally Schmidt, Ty Kelly and Ken Carpenter. The seminar lasted an hour and was audio recorded by Lamar Keck and video recorded by Dick McQuillan.
Lamar’s audio is in a very high quality 717 megabyte .wav file. I’ve reduced it to a 51 megabyte .mp3 file that retains reasonable quality, but it is still too large to email or upload on my MyFi.
Dick is working on improving his video with a better sound track and sharper photos. It will probably end up as a DVD that will have to be distributed at rallies or mailed. More on that later.
Mandy’s presentation included a PowerPoint presentation that included about 20 wonderful photos. If someone knows how to do it, it may be possible to synchronize the .wav file from Lamar’s audio to Mandy’s PowerPoint file.
Tim Bentley (our hard working moderator) has agreed to figure out what can be reasonably made available for downloading or viewing on this forum or at
www.beaveramb.org. I’ve also asked him to consider making this thread a “sticky” so that it can be easily referred to. Does anybody know how to break a one hour video file into a series of YouTube (or equivalent) video files?
I don’t know the best way to complete this job. I don’t want to be the “History Chairman” forever! I’m looking for ideas and suggestions.
For now, would please post pictures and descriptions of “historical” Beavers you have or see in your travels to this thread. Keep the file size small!
