You didn’t want to! Hey you know, keep it in the family. A: And where was his studio at? D: East Merrimack Street. A: Okay, was it near the old Rex Center, or ?

D: He was a very, very good entertainer. A: So how do you think he gravitated from the (--) Did he always keep the dance studio around forever, or? D: No, I think my sister and I helped him stop that. [Both laugh] A: Why do you say that? D: Because we didn’t, we didn’t want to do it. You know, we, my sister and I didn’t want, [interrupted by waitress] (A: Great) didn’t want to be tap dancers. (A: Yah) And we didn’t want (--) And I’ll never forget one day I mean we had the whole, filled the whole floor full of you know, other kids. And they’re tap dancing. And I looked at my sister, and I used to be a devil, and my sister just looks at me. I says, “Okay, here we go.” So instead of doing the right steps we were doing wrong steps. “Oh my uncle used to pull his hair out. 3 �A: [Laughs] D: I says, “That’s it, I quit!” [Unclear], “you’re damn right you do!” A: So at some point he gravitated over towards just doing like night club acts and things like that? D: Yah, when he was young in his 20s I think. A: So he had the dance studio when he was in his 20s? D: In the 50s, 20s [unclear-too much noise, hard to comprehend]. Maybe 55. I think that was when he closed I think it was 55. A: Okay. So he ran it for 30 years almost, or so? Okay. D: He taught classical, tap, you name it he taught it. He was very good. He was a beautiful dancer. Good singer. (A: Yah?) Good entertainer. Good MC. A: Who did he use to MC for? Do you know? D: He played at the [sounds like: Bella Donner], all the different places. Happy Helen’s, they used to be on the boulevard. The White Eagle. The [Candle] Club. All the bars in Tyngsboro because I used to drive him. A: Oh he didn’t drive? D: No he never drove. A: And they, they said he was kind of a shnazie dresser as this illustrates. D: A couple of the articles, he had over fifty suits (A: Yah) for every occasion. This is proof he did, right here. A: What were the different suits for? D: Different acts he did. Like once he was a pirate. I think there’s a couple of pictures somewhere and a scrapbook how he made the pirate. Spanish dancer. You know, like I said, he did it, he put on a lot, a lot of acts, the recitals with the kids [unclear]. A lot of big name people, you know, he taught them how to dance. A: Yah. Do you remember some of his students, his more well-known ones? D: Not off hand. They were in, they were in (--) L: They’re in those. 4 �A: Yah, well we’ll take a look at those after. L: There are so many clippings. I’m amazed at how many clippings are in there Auntie D. I didn’t realize. D: Plus I lost a lot. I lost a lot of them. L: Yah. A: Yah. L: And everything is kind of loose in the books. So you got to be really careful, and it’s real fragile on them. A: Okay. Well we’ll make sure that they, they stay where they are. D: He worked here maybe ten, fifteen years he worked for the Owl Diner. L: Wow. I didn’t realize that. That many years huh? [Noise and conversation in background between waitresses and customers] L: Because he only lived right behind here. So right? When he worked here? D: Yah, because I used to work here. L: Wow. A: You did really? D: Yah, this was with the previous owners. A: Who were the owners? They were Greekd? D: They were Greeks, two Greek brothers. A: Oh. And was he still doing entertainment as well as The Owl Diner? D: Umhm, oh yah. A: Now you were telling me on the phone that he had done some female impersonation? D: Years and years and years ago. And he only did it for, as an act. (A: Yup) Everybody loved it. Everybody wanted him to keep doing it. And he did it a couple of times and that was it. You know, he took it out of his act! (A: Yah) And in 1950 they 5 �banned, [they wanted to ban men], he couldn’t get a job because he was referred to as a female impersonator, which he wasn’t. That was years, well over fifteen years way earlier. I think the Police Chief didn’t like him. (A: Yah) I gave you all the paperwork on it, because he cut it all up, on it and that. A: So did the Police Chief not like him because of his orientation, or something? D: The clientele, [unclear] the clientele. Like I says, I’ve took, I used to take Manny to mostly every place he worked. You know after I was sixteen and I got my license you know, I’d take him. And if it wasn’t too late at night you know, I’d go pick him up. And no, he had a very, very good clientele in all of them. A: But there was some, you know, with people that might have gone to see Manny, I mean there was overtones of homosexuality which were I think frowned on by the, by those city fathers way back when. D: Yes. Yes. A: Did Manny feel like he was being like persecuted in any way? D: He didn’t like it, but he wasn’t, he wasn’t going to dwell on it. (A: No) You know, like he says, “They can call me what they want.” (A: Yah) I mean he was in love. A: He was what? D: He was in love. A: He was in love, yah. D: [Unclear]. L: [Talking to waitress} I’m all set. Do you want any more coffee Auntie DD? A: Are any of his friends still around by chance? D: Um mm. L: Oh jeeze no, I would doubt there’s anyone. A: I mean I know it was a long time ago, but. L: It was thirty-two years ago. (A: Yah) Thirty-two years ago because I’ve been with my husband since 1982 and that’s thirty-one, and the year before that. So thirty-two years ago. Wow! D: You want a story? I got one. I was younger. 6 �L: Thanks Ali [must have picked up the tab]. D: Thank you. He was, he was in love with my aunt. And I guess they had been from what I hear through the grapevine, he was, they were going to get married, but then I guess Manny was you know, entertaining or he was out of town. Anyway she met my uncle, my other uncle [unclear] in New Jersey. And you know, he was a little hot shot. So she ended up breaking my uncle’s hear and marrying Stuart. That used to be cute, you know, every year we used to go to New Jersey and visit them, visit the relatives. A: Really. D: Oh yah. L: Wow. A: No ill will, no bad feelings. D: None at all. No. A: Can I have a glass of ice water? D: But I think that’s when he decided he wasn’t getting married. A: Yah. Somebody told me one of the funny songs he would sing though is, “I Wanna Get Married.” D: Umhm. A: Do you remember that at all? D: Oh yes! A: Who? Did he write songs? D: Yes, and you got a couple of the songs. L: Oh yeah! (A: Really?) A lot of stuff in here. A: Okay, great! L: Real lot of stuff. D: He was very religious. (A: Yah) Loved his bingo.

L: [Laughs] I know, isn’t that funny how um, bingo is a sin but all the people that go to church go to bingo. [Both laugh] I get a kick out of it! A: I don’t know if they still do, but they used to do it at the church right? L: Oh yah, that’s true too! That’s right. D: And I know what you’re saying, [unclear] bingo. L: Now was Manny part of St. Anthony’s? D: Yes, when he was younger. Then he went to what, St. Peter’s? A: Oh St. Peter’s because he lived around here maybe? D: Yah.

L: This was the only other two things in here. D: Those are sheet music. A: That’s sheet music too? L: Oh yah. A: This is like a letter or something? D: I think that he wrote. A: “I didn’t want to walk without you baby, walk without my arms around you baby.” [Laughs] L: That’s why I want to put everything in a nice little book. (A: Yah) You know, so it will be all protected. So it won’t be damaged. A: Yah, yup! Yah, well the other part of doing the scanning that it creates another, a second version of the documents and the photos. And so that helps preserve it for the long term, you know, L: Yup. A: Because heaven forbid you know, something happened, you know, some flood or part of the house caught on fire or something and then you lose this forever. L: Right, see. A: If you’ve got it digitized then you got the cds, you can put them in a different location you know, (L: Yup) and then it’s preserved for the long term. D: See that’s what happened with a lot of this. I had it out in the garage over on Shirley Avenue, over you know, the father’s house and a lot of the [unclear]. I lost a lot of things. L: Oh I hope it’s going to be in safe hands here Ali. I’m not going to be able to sleep here. A: Okay. Well I’ll get it back to you as soon as I can. 22 �L: Okay. A: You want to put Manny in there? L: Yup, Manny, oh what a nice picture. D: Oh yah! A: Well Dolores any final thoughts about your Uncle Manny? D: He was a very great entertainer. I think a lot of people in the City of Lowell loved him. (A: Yup) And like I says, he was very religious. He was always there to help anybody who needed it, and he was also a great cook. A: He was, okay? D: Especially his Portuguese soup and his spaghetti sauce. I got his spaghetti sauce down perfect! A: Yah, you got the recipe. D: Oh I used to help him make it! [Both laugh] And I used to help him make the Portuguese soup. And the Portuguese soup, it’s I think twelve or fourteen different vegetables in it. A: Wow, neat. Yah. D: And he gave me the recipe and I lost the recipe. I can’t perfect it the way Manny made it. A: You have most of it up here in your mind? D: Oh yes! Like I says, I was a kid. I think my Uncle Manny was the one who actually taught me how to cook. My mother couldn’t cook. A: [Laughs] D: She couldn’t boil water. But as far as his spaghetti sauce, nobody can beat my spaghetti sauce. L: I love (--) A: Well I think (--) Do you think people considered Manny a unique personality? D: Yes. Yes. More, I think more people liked him than disliked him. 23 �A: Yah, did that say something about the city of Lowell? D: Yes. I think (--) Well when they were taking him, you know, which ah, like I says, when he did the female impersonation it was only as an act. That was always supposed to be a one-time thing. And way back then, years ago, they wanted him to keep doing it, but he didn’t, he took it out of his act. (A: Umhm) And the License Commission bard him from trying to entertain in Lowell. (A: Yah) So he was out of work for six months. A: But he beat them? D: Yah! He beat them, because after that like I says I used to drive him to the Banjo Pub and that was in the 60s because I didn’t get my license till 61. (A: Okay) And after 61 I used to take him all over. Any place he had, you know, was entertaining I used to take him. A: Well thanks very much for your time today. L: You’re very welcome.

Title A name given to the resource Manny Dias Collection [1919-1950] Subject The topic of the resource Dance teachers Dogs Entertainers Female impersonators Description An account of the resource Manny Dias, also known as the “Blonde Bombshell,” was a dancer and entertainer in Lowell. He was born in Lowell on November 19, 1909 to Domingos (born in Graciosa in 1876) and Avelina Dias (born in Spain around 1890). Manny later took advantage of this mixed Portuguese-Spanish background in his entertainment career. Manny was an entertainer from a young age, with the first mention of one of his performances in the Lowell Sun in 1919. At 10 years old, he performed in a Christmas show at the International Institute. He continued to perform at local events in the following years and relied on cultural dance standards in his acts (the Lowell Sun regularly references his Spanish, “Russian,” and “Chinese” dance styles). In 1924, at 15 years old, Manny changed his act and performed as a female impersonator for the first time at the Alumni Night at the Lincoln School. His performance, where he performed as a woman and then revealed his true gender at the end, landed him a gig performing this act at the Crown Theater. After graduating from the Lowell Evening High School, he spent the summer of 1928 performing around the country with his manager, Lowell Police Officer Daniel Brennan. After his return, he began to develop plans to establish his own dancing school, which he opened in 1931. At 22 years old, Manny opened his school in the Montgeau building in Lowell, called the “Dias School of Dancing.” His first few years of business were so successful that he was able to move to a larger space in Kearny Square in 1934. He also officially changed the name to “Diaz School of Dancing,” reflecting a spelling change of his last name that he used throughout his career. He may have switched to the Spanish spelling (ending in –z instead of –s) because of his Spanish-based acts. In 1936, the Diaz School of Dancing switched venues for the final time to the Rex Center. Manny kept teaching local students until 1941, when he decided to focus on performing. Over the many decades of his career, Manny performed at dozens of local venues. The list includes Crown Theatre, Brick Bar, 17 Room, Moulin Rouge, Bella Donna, Haufbrau, Shirley Club, Del’s, Mirror Lounge, Chuck’s, 4 Leaf Clover, White Rock Club, Happy Helen’s, Hidden Palace, Brookside Café, Idle Hour, Derby, White Eagle Café, Banjo Pub, and Jan’s By The Lake. He also performed in towns around Massachusetts and traveled to Boston to study under Stanley Brown in 1936. He was known for sharing his talents through volunteer performances at local hospitals, churches, and veterans' groups. In 1950, however, chaos hit Manny’s career. On February 13, he was at his regular gig as the MC at the Bella Donna club, when he was arrested alongside the bar manager and other performers by undercover police officers in the audience. They were arrested over an alleged "presentation of an immoral show”. One of the other performers arrested that night was Ann Fisher, an exotic dancer also known as “Ann Arbor.” The trial started on February 28 and was mostly focused on Fisher’s performance. Eventually, Manny was found innocent since he did not play a role in the “immoral” section of the show. All the other defendants (except the club manager) were fined. Unfortunately, trouble found him again in May when he was suddenly banned from performing by the Lowell License Commission. The LCC had instated a rule that they would not issue licenses to any club where a female impersonator performs. This included performers who “are, or who have ever been, female impersonators.” This effectively banned Manny from getting hired at any local club. Although he performed as a female impersonator at the start of his career, he claimed that he had not performed that act for over 14 years. Many suggested that he should solely perform in other towns, but he responded to this by saying he was "born and raised in Lowell, owns property and lives here, and declared ‘I’m not going out of town until this thing is cleared up – until I’m cleared’”. Although it is impossible to know all the details of his shows, the last mention of his female impersonation act in the Lowell Sun appeared in February of 1932. This supports his claim of taking the controversial act out of his show early in his career. (The item in this collection titled "Grand Opening of The New Rathskeller Cafe" suggests he may have been female impersonating as late as 1938, but this is not confirmed.) However, the LCC would still not budge. Manny took it to court, where he lost his fight to overturn the ban. Thankfully, the local community banded together in support of Manny and made many calls to the commission until, in December of 1950, the LCC changed the wording of the rule to only include current female impersonation acts. Manny continued to perform locally into his 60s until he retired in 1977. He lived on and off with his supportive older sister, Dolores Dias, and her husband and children. Dolores was a performer herself, winning the 1931 Miss Lowell pageant and even making it to the Hollywood auditions in a national “Make Me A Movie Star” contest put on by Paramount Pictures in 1932. Manny died at Lowell General Hospital in 1981 from cancer. He left behind a legacy that included both his successful entertainment career, as well as his passion for his community. <br />References:<br /><em>-Lowell Sun</em>, 1919-1981.<br /><em>-Naturalization Records</em><span>.

He was born in Lowell on November 19, 1909 to Domingos (born in Graciosa in 1876) and Avelina Dias (born in Spain around 1890).

At 22 years old, Manny opened his school in the Montgeau building in Lowell, called the “Dias School of Dancing.” His first few years of business were so successful that he was able to move to a larger space in Kearny Square in 1934. He also officially changed the name to “Diaz School of Dancing,” reflecting a spelling change of his last name that he used throughout his career. He may have switched to the Spanish spelling (ending in –z instead of –s) because of his Spanish-based acts. In 1936, the Diaz School of Dancing switched venues for the final time to the Rex Center. Manny kept teaching local students until 1941, when he decided to focus on performing. Over the many decades of his career, Manny performed at dozens of local venues. The list includes Crown Theatre, Brick Bar, 17 Room, Moulin Rouge, Bella Donna, Haufbrau, Shirley Club, Del’s, Mirror Lounge, Chuck’s, 4 Leaf Clover, White Rock Club, Happy Helen’s, Hidden Palace, Brookside Café, Idle Hour, Derby, White Eagle Café, Banjo Pub, and Jan’s By The Lake. He also performed in towns around Massachusetts and traveled to Boston to study under Stanley Brown in 1936. He was known for sharing his talents through volunteer performances at local hospitals, churches, and veterans' groups. In 1950, however, chaos hit Manny’s career. On February 13, he was at his regular gig as the MC at the Bella Donna club, when he was arrested alongside the bar manager and other performers by undercover police officers in the audience. They were arrested over an alleged "presentation of an immoral show”. One of the other performers arrested that night was Ann Fisher, an exotic dancer also known as “Ann Arbor.” The trial started on February 28 and was mostly focused on Fisher’s performance. Eventually, Manny was found innocent since he did not play a role in the “immoral” section of the show. All the other defendants (except the club manager) were fined. Unfortunately, trouble found him again in May when he was suddenly banned from performing by the Lowell License Commission. The LCC had instated a rule that they would not issue licenses to any club where a female impersonator performs. This included performers who “are, or who have ever been, female impersonators.” This effectively banned Manny from getting hired at any local club. Although he performed as a female impersonator at the start of his career, he claimed that he had not performed that act for over 14 years. Many suggested that he should solely perform in other towns, but he responded to this by saying he was "born and raised in Lowell, owns property and lives here, and declared ‘I’m not going out of town until this thing is cleared up – until I’m cleared’”. Although it is impossible to know all the details of his shows, the last mention of his female impersonation act in the Lowell Sun appeared in February of 1932. This supports his claim of taking the controversial act out of his show early in his career. (The item in this collection titled "Grand Opening of The New Rathskeller Cafe" suggests he may have been female impersonating as late as 1938, but this is not confirmed.) However, the LCC would still not budge. Manny took it to court, where he lost his fight to overturn the ban. Thankfully, the local community banded together in support of Manny and made many calls to the commission until, in December of 1950, the LCC changed the wording of the rule to only include current female impersonation acts. Manny continued to perform locally into his 60s until he retired in 1977. He lived on and off with his supportive older sister, Dolores Dias, and her husband and children. Dolores was a performer herself, winning the 1931 Miss Lowell pageant and even making it to the Hollywood auditions in a national “Make Me A Movie Star” contest put on by Paramount Pictures in 1932. Manny died at Lowell General Hospital in 1981 from cancer. He left behind a legacy that included both his successful entertainment career, as well as his passion for his community. <br />References:<br /><em>-Lowell Sun</em>, 1919-1981.<br /><em>-Naturalization Records</em><span>.

He was born in Lowell on November 19, 1909 to Domingos (born in Graciosa in 1876) and Avelina Dias (born in Spain around 1890). Manny later took advantage of this mixed Portuguese-Spanish background in his entertainment career.

Title A name given to the resource Manny Dias Collection [1919-1950] Subject The topic of the resource Dance teachers Dogs Entertainers Female impersonators Description An account of the resource Manny Dias, also known as the “Blonde Bombshell,” was a dancer and entertainer in Lowell. He was born in Lowell on November 19, 1909 to Domingos (born in Graciosa in 1876) and Avelina Dias (born in Spain around 1890).

At 22 years old, Manny opened his school in the Montgeau building in Lowell, called the “Dias School of Dancing.” His first few years of business were so successful that he was able to move to a larger space in Kearny Square in 1934. He also officially changed the name to “Diaz School of Dancing,” reflecting a spelling change of his last name that he used throughout his career. He may have switched to the Spanish spelling (ending in –z instead of –s) because of his Spanish-based acts. In 1936, the Diaz School of Dancing switched venues for the final time to the Rex Center. Manny kept teaching local students until 1941, when he decided to focus on performing. Over the many decades of his career, Manny performed at dozens of local venues. The list includes Crown Theatre, Brick Bar, 17 Room, Moulin Rouge, Bella Donna, Haufbrau, Shirley Club, Del’s, Mirror Lounge, Chuck’s, 4 Leaf Clover, White Rock Club, Happy Helen’s, Hidden Palace, Brookside Café, Idle Hour, Derby, White Eagle Café, Banjo Pub, and Jan’s By The Lake. He also performed in towns around Massachusetts and traveled to Boston to study under Stanley Brown in 1936. He was known for sharing his talents through volunteer performances at local hospitals, churches, and veterans' groups. In 1950, however, chaos hit Manny’s career. On February 13, he was at his regular gig as the MC at the Bella Donna club, when he was arrested alongside the bar manager and other performers by undercover police officers in the audience. They were arrested over an alleged "presentation of an immoral show”. One of the other performers arrested that night was Ann Fisher, an exotic dancer also known as “Ann Arbor.” The trial started on February 28 and was mostly focused on Fisher’s performance. Eventually, Manny was found innocent since he did not play a role in the “immoral” section of the show. All the other defendants (except the club manager) were fined. Unfortunately, trouble found him again in May when he was suddenly banned from performing by the Lowell License Commission. The LCC had instated a rule that they would not issue licenses to any club where a female impersonator performs. This included performers who “are, or who have ever been, female impersonators.” This effectively banned Manny from getting hired at any local club.

Although it is impossible to know all the details of his shows, the last mention of his female impersonation act in the Lowell Sun appeared in February of 1932. This supports his claim of taking the controversial act out of his show early in his career. (The item in this collection titled "Grand Opening of The New Rathskeller Cafe" suggests he may have been female impersonating as late as 1938, but this is not confirmed.) However, the LCC would still not budge. Manny took it to court, where he lost his fight to overturn the ban. Thankfully, the local community banded together in support of Manny and made many calls to the commission until, in December of 1950, the LCC changed the wording of the rule to only include current female impersonation acts. Manny continued to perform locally into his 60s until he retired in 1977. He lived on and off with his supportive older sister, Dolores Dias, and her husband and children. Dolores was a performer herself, winning the 1931 Miss Lowell pageant and even making it to the Hollywood auditions in a national “Make Me A Movie Star” contest put on by Paramount Pictures in 1932.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations.<br /><br />This collection is still growing. Check back for updates!<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Note</strong><br />Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations.<br /><br />This collection is still growing. Check back for updates!<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Note</strong><br />Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations.<br /><br />This collection is still growing. Check back for updates!<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Note</strong><br />Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations.<br /><br />This collection is still growing. Check back for updates!<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Note</strong><br />Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.

Title A name given to the resource Januario Leal Video Collection [1975-2000] Description An account of the resource The Januario Leal Video collection covers events related to the Portuguese community from many towns within the Greater Boston area from the 1970s to 2000. The videos linked here focus on the communities north and northwest of Boston, however many more videos can be found on the LealVideos Youtube page, including videos filmed in the Azores. The videos in this collection include many events, festivals, processions, and Carnaval celebrations.<br /><br />This collection is still growing. Check back for updates!<br /><br /><strong>Biographical Note</strong><br />Januario L. Leal was born on October 15, 1946, in São Bras, Terceira to Januario and Maria (Linhares) Leal. He grew up attending school and, as an adult, operated his father’s convenience store.<br /><br />In 1970, Januario relocated to the United States with his wife, Fernanda (DeSousa) Leal, and they settled in Lowell, Massachusetts. He became a communicant of St. Anthony’s Church and a member of many local clubs including the Portuguese American Civic League, the Portuguese American Center, and the Holy Ghost Society. After immigrating to Lowell, he worked at Paris Shoe as a machine operator until 1978. He later began working for Bradford Industries, formerly known as Pandel, as an inspector until his retirement.<br /><br />Januario was also an avid videographer and maintained his own YouTube channel called "Leal Videos." In 1972 Januario's first video camera was a Super 8mm. The Super 8 used 50ft film roll cassettes which only provided 3 minutes of video recording. As video camera technology advanced he later upgraded 3 years later in 1975 to 16mm film. The Super 8 and 16mm cameras that Januario owned were hand-cranked at first but later upgraded to battery powered a couple years later. As Januario continued to follow his passion he upgraded his camera with each video camera technology advancements which included the video formats of VHS (1980-1999), MiniDV (2000-2015) and to the modern day High Definition 1080p (2015-2022). He recorded hundreds of local events related to the Portuguese community, including many processions and festivals. Thanks to his videography passion, an entire generation of Portuguese American festivities will now be preserved for posterity.<br /><br />Januario passed away on February 28, 2022 and is survived by his four children (Roberta Agostinho, Alizabete Brum, Davido Leal, and Roberto Leal) and their families, including many grandchildren.
