I worked at the Plains theater (worked the concession, took tickets, ushered and changed the marquis) in part of 1952 and 1953. The Plains theater was managed by Mike Allred. Boyd Scott was general manager over all of the theaters in Roswell.
I started out working for Buddy at the Twilight drive in theater, located southeast of town. His last name might have been Hale.
I met my wife Peggy at The Plains where she worked p/t while attending business college. She worked with a very nice girl (in the ticket booth) by the name of Ruby.
I was a S/Sgt. at Walker AFB and worked p/t for the extra money and to stay busy
Boyd Scott attended our wedding. He had been good enough to overlook the rule that you could not date and work at the same theater.
Upon discharge, we moved to Albuq for ten years and on to Illinois where we currently live. We have not been to Roswell for ten years.
All of the people associated with the Plains were fine people and I respected them very much. (Thank you Ken for the photo of the Plains theater. It is just like I remember it)..
The only movie I really remember (because it played over and over and over) was Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad.
If anyone knows anything about the above people, please email me
