    This film footage was taken at the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 13, 1998. The 1998 Easter Egg Roll was the first to be cybercast over the internet. This film includes stage set up and a performance by the Incredible Bits Crew and a reading of "The Rock in the Road." This film is part of the Howard Lefkowitz Collection. Lefkowitz served as vice president of business development and Internet marketing for EarthLink. In 1998, Lefkowitz developed and produced the first cybercast of the White House Easter Egg Roll.
