Yeah, just think if i could get 7 or 8 of the gang i worked with at ABC THEATRES on here or you get Diane or CATHY on here. Just can’t get the bums to write anything.

NO it wasn’t that Big. I think DANIEL VILLAGE might have been just a bit smaller than National Hills.

We need to talk about this Theatre Cherrydale 16. Well, you know how i feel about all these screens. I drove by the EVANS 14 Cinemas this evening,Counted about 30 cars.That is about what we would have at COLUMBIA 1 and 2 during school nights and it was 1978! AND TWO BIG SCREENS,

Now you see that is the difference between a big city theatre person and a small friendlier theatre assistant manager, We are just a bit nicer to folks that come to our theatres. And i don’t believe you would tell them to “GET OUT!”

I was hoping Bill would have made a few Copies from his book,that is what i was hoping he would do. I too.dropped him a line thanking him for coming. I think next fall we can have a decent ABC/PLITT reunion.

WE had Stinking pinball machines at COLUMBIA SQ. and at GCC we had Video games a couple i think tucked over under the stairs that went up to the restrooms,booth and offices. I hated them.Someone would always throw a quarter in at 11:45 pm ans i am ready to get.

Okay that was a good story,but you said Cathy and you had forgotten so much about Augusta and seem to remember more about Atlanta. that is fine.Ilove reading them even the ONES IN NASHVILLE.

Okay, I wILL GET THE PIECE of the Screen in the mail in the next fews days. I meant to put it in the last package i mailed. OUR theatres were the best in the country.I would put my staff at any ABC,PLITT or GCC up against chain in the country, Want to know why we would win? or the most part, we kept our jobs for years and could jump in anywhere except the booth, Simply put our people kept their jobs very few would quit after a month or two.IT WAS THAT GREAT and FUN.
