The Hialeah High School Golden Thoroughbreds
50-Years Reunion
Classes of 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida September 11-13, 2009
The Golden Thoroughbreds 50-Year reunion was held at the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa and was followed by a cruise. The cruise ship was the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas which departed from Ft. Lauderdale on Monday Sept 14th having stops in Key West, Cozumel and Belize. The weather was VERY hot, even by Florida standards.
A reunion video is available. It consists of two high quality DVDs containing about two hours of video. Classmates (present or absent of reunion) may order the DVDs for $29.95 from RAINES VIDEO PRODUCTIONS, 818 S.W. 3rd Abe. Portland, Oregon, 97204 (Phone 800-654-8277, email: rcrvp@aol.com , website: www.rainesvideo.com
If you don't wish to or haven't purchased the DVDs, you can see the footage here, albeit at much lower quality and size. as I've had to make compromising adjustments to the video quality in order for the video to stream to your computer.
If you click on the below link, the first 10 minutes of Disk #1 of the reunion video should play in your computer's Windows Media Player. Depending or your type of internet service, you may or may not be able to jump forward or backward as you play the video and may experience temporary pauses. This is not true "streaming video" but is what's known as "progressive-download" video.
By right-clicking on video as it plays, you can change the size of the movie, but as you increase the size, it becomes less sharp:

If this works satisfactorily, I plan to add the rest of the reunion video later.
Please give me a report on how this works for you. Include in your report what kind of internet service you have, e.g., dial-up, DSL, cable, satellite, fiber optic?
