Mark Menzies, You hired me back then when Loretta was a cashier, and Bert the ticket guy/ candy counter there was one more guy but I cannot remember his name or the other cashier. I cannot remember the Janitors nick name anymore. Richard was the projectionist 2 days a week Lindsey 5 days a week. Too long ago to be exacting. when you left They brought the manager from the Fox Parkside on Taraval street. We were all scared of her. before her arrival at the Skyline I was sent to THE PARKSIDE for the GRAND opening of The Poseidon Adventure, Rumors were she was hard to work for. then a guy from Sacramento managed it. he went back to run the Fox Thunderbird drive-in,in Rancho Cordova. Fox Skyline theater was sold to a guy who tried to run it. His first day open they were robbed.
Things got tough he started 99 cent movies. It was hard keeping liquor and marijuana out of the place. Remember you use to be able to smoke? :) no cigars though :)
My family went to the Fox Skyline the first weeks it opened showing STAGECOACH.
I can still remember getting on the wet slippery fog covered walkway to the change the movie titles.
To this day March 5, 2017 I repeat the time of day. If it has 15 or 50 7:15, fifteen, ONE FIVE or 7:50, fifty, five zero.
I still remember the angry looks on patrons faces when they realize the movie has started or they are too early. :)
I remember you came by at least once after you moved on.
Good to hear from you, many moons have passed.

I was kid when this was built. First Safeway, the little restaurant the liquor store the barber shop the dry cleaner I worked there to, Ben Franklin, the theater and THRIFTY where you could get five scoops of ice cream for a quarter
There was Bert who had to walked away from the ticket stand because he had bad gas. at 19 he drove a Lincoln Continental.
Richard was the UNION projectionist. he taught me how to run that arc projector.
I use to dump popcorn on my friends in the back row from the projection booth.
I had so many pictures from movies and posters. I accidentally threw them away. I could retire 10 Years ago if I had them still.
Good night! I happened upon this by sheer accident. Larry Goldsmith hired me back in 1973 I worked there after Fox sold it.
unreal great days great times. Loretta was a cashier and seen Rocky where it was playing in Millbrae 6 times
