The Standing Family Reunion,
Hybrid Virtual Reunion and Chautauqua, July 17, 2021

Wrap Up of the reunion by Ruth Alliband. (PDF file)

Excerpts from the Zoom Files 2021:

NOTE ABOUT VIDEO: For many lap-tops and desk computers media files on the Standing Family Reunion site need to fully download from the SFR server before the media begins to play. Connection speeds vary. For larger video clips there may be a delay up to about one-fourth timewise of the minutes of the video.

If you do not see anything happening open your "downloads" folder to start the video. When you are finished, you may need to delete the file if you don't want to keep it. Video quality in larger files has been compressed to reduce file size, which is generally not very noticeable.
