"Thanks, Bob" Film Showing

"Thanks, Bob" provides a glimpse into past through Bob Cotner's home videos from the early 1950s. Cotner, a Wilmington resident and owner of the Hale & Cotner Rexall Pharmacy, used his 16 MM camera to record family gatherings, an aerial tour of Clinton County, and scenes from the Wilmington Sesquicentennial. Cotner's great-granddaughter, Brooke Beam, has digitized Cotner's films and compares the vintage film to the modern scenes of the county in 2019.

Brooke will discuss what it took to make the film a reality, with a showing of the short film following.
