This is a 2.5 minute tribute I created about my mom and dad, Elsa and Lou Shapiro, Dad passed away in 1981, but mom got to see this on her computer back in 2003. She passed away gently in 2015.

I'm putting this up on YouTube to show that you can tell compelling stories on YouTube without using a camcorder.

Originally created in 1999 using QuickTime Pro and AppleWorks. These days I would use LibreOffice Draw or Inkscape to create the graphics -- and record the audio using Audacity. (http://audacity.sourceforge.net)

Grateful thanks are owed to Hank Wallace for voice coaching on this project.
