"Camera: Tom Sawyer (to request a set of head-shots identifying most of the attendees, email from the Contact page at www.thomasbsawyer.com)"

 

 

This is the only video at the Thomas B. Sawyer channel and the link to his site does not work, sadly. There is no sound. What a nice slice of those times despite not being exactly sure who's who all the time. 

I'm not sure, but suspect that the movie was shot by the illustrator Thomas B. Sawyer, whose 2022 book, The Art of the REAL Tom Sawyer, is highly recommended.
