Mike Rogers commented about Regency Mall Cinema I-II-III on Jan 18, 2011 at 2:15 pm

Great story,I didn’t realize Zack was there during “Star Trek” movie.Saw the ad in the Augusta Archives it was HUGE.He told me later Regency had some of the Highest grosses on “STAR TREK” compared to other GCC .I have a story SOMEWHERE on National Hills Theatre me doing the Marquee on Washington Road . when I moved the adjustable ladder the dang thing came apart and I was Stuck on the Road Marquee until someone wondered where Mike was. Can’t make this stuff up.If you really get involved in CT you will be telling stories to other GCC employees and Management like I have and read.This Site is doggone habit forming. One GCC manager up North told me his DM called and told him in a snow storm with high winds to go up on the theatre roof and sweep snow off the building. The guy told me he called his DM and told him he wasn’t doing such a dangerous job. The DM replied" I didn’t mean you,send a couple of Ushers up on the roof".That is the great stories I find under GCC Chains.. I don’t think he sent the guys up on the roof. John Perra was the Manager at PIZZA HUT.Boy, did we drink.In fact, I remember one night after showing “ROCKY HORROR” twice one Midnight,when we got out at four in the morning Zack had a case of Buds waiting for us,even Dray downed one. Stayed in the parking lot where we parked OUR cars and,well It was the Theatre business. I think of Craig a lot.Wish he would have taken better care of himself. When I hear Rush laugh on the Radio it sorta reminds me of his chuckle.Barry even agreed about the two laughs.What was so cool about Al,and what happened to him.You and Barry were pretty cool too.
