In 1963 the owners were Leonard Swain and Lloyd Claver. Claver also owned the Rhododendron Drive-In in Florence, OR at that time.
In the mid 1950s I worked for the owner, Earl Balthazar (sp?), doing a wide series of rather menial tasks. I took tickets, hauled in the boxes of candy, cleaned up after the ponies, changed the film names on the roadside sign, rewound films and sometimes met the truck that brought us new features to make the exchange.
It was not much, but it was “Show Biz” and a real thrill for a high school boy.
