Wow. This may be strange, and you might not get this, but I think I have been looking for your family. I am a photographer in Oceanside, CA and I purchased a shoebox of old 16mm reels at the swap meet. There are maybe 20 of them. They have mail correspondence to a Thomas P Balent. I have been searching for him on the internet and I think I found his obituary from 1983. I found an earlier obituary from his wife and the names Russell and Steve Balent connected with him. And now this obituary for Russell. There are a couple the reels that are labeled respectively, Russ Homecoming and Steve Homecoming from out 1944 or so. There are many others from a trip to Chaco Canyon, NM to "Aleutian Scenes." Something in me is pushing me to figure this out and that it might mean something to someone. If this is you and I reach you, I hope it does. If not, I am sorry for intruding. Thank you and feel free to write me an email. [email protected]

To Russ Balents family. My name is Ernest Acosta. I worked at Verteq with Russ for ten years in the engineering dept. Russ and I had a good relationship both at work and playing sports after work. I really enjoyed the many times we played tennis even though he was much better and whipped me quite a few times.
I am sorry find news of his passing, he
really deserved to enjoy a long retimement. My sympathy to all.
