My name is Steve Ellis and I used to work at drive-in. I knew Ruby well. She was quite a character! She and Irene would have a little spat every now and then! Great times! Jimmy&Irene McGriff were cool to work for. They had two sons, Ricky&Timmy? Projectionist was a cool guy, too. I used to fix drinks&pizzas, climb up/change marquee on HWY98. I was there night third of screen cracked, then fell to ground(I had just walked out from under it!) Made $25.wk. and free pass to all Martin theaters! We even had a rock band play before Monterey Pop Festival movie! I lasted a year, then worked @Miracle Strip Amusement Park on beach for $60.wk. Great memories all!!!
