Family & Friends - Theophilus Photos Part 8
These pages were initially created to transfer photos from traditional scrapbooks to the internet in order to both preserve and make the pictures and history available to family and friends. It has become more extensive than I intended. However, I see it as a way to save the details before they slip away. Martin T

The photos below are stills from Theophilus' movies that were digitized in 2017 by the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. We greatly appreciate their work and highly recommend sharing your old Texas movies with the organization. We'd digitized our movies 30 years ago when the technology was not near as good. This conversion really brought the movies to a new level. Then in 2020 we used Kodak transfer services to digitize another 10 7" reels of film. The stills were captured from the digitized videos. Chris also had two reels which were digitized and may be viewed at this link.
1969 Midland/Odessa Baron and Tonya • video
In 1969 Carol completed her Masters at Sul Ross and was offered a Senior English teaching position at Midland High School. Carol and Martin sold Carl Williams' home in Alpine to His Sister Peggy and Tom Karvonen. C&M moved to Midland and rented a home. With Martin's Mom, they met Martin's Grandmother returning from Scotland at the Midland airport.
Martin applied to the Midland Police Department, but was turned down due to his lost kidney liability. So Martin went back to work for the TDHS in Odessa, working for Mr. Simmons, his previous supervisor when he began with TDHS in Alpine. Shortly thereafter, Martin was offered a Child Protective Services job in Odessa. To meet the State legal requirement at the time that you had to be a resident of a county to file legal petitions for custody, Carol and Martin built a home in Odessa using Wylie Brown. These scenes are from the rented home in Midland and building the home in Odessa. Baron and Tonya were our constant companions. Their puppies were fun!
