From everything I have read, there is/was no director with that name ever given credit. Are you sure it was an "Our Gang?" There were several other film companies that made shorts comedies that were very similar.
Most of the episodes from that time frame can be found on VHS or DVD. No Noise is the closest time frame match (I think) but that one is tough to get :/
Any pictures of your Father at that age?

I was going to write basically the same thing, but realized tootie mentioned them being beside a barrel, not in one like Sunshine Sammy in the first one.

September 11th was the first day of filming for "Big Business." Do you have a photo of Robert Morin as a child that we can see?

To get your pictures on here, either set up a small free web-site on yahoo, or someplace like that. Or find a free picture hosting site. Then take the URL, copy paste it in a post using the image links.
A-1 video, yes, I just got some DVD's from him last week or so. Alex has a LOT of old footage. I wouldn't call it "store" quality, but what he has, you can't buy in the store.
There were several "kid comedies" in those days. Hal Roach's were the most popular. If your father was just an extra, it may be hard to find him in the shows.
