My Dad Was the main maintenance person at the time he was about 52 years old Ed was his name. I was about 15 at the time. The manager of the twin was Mr. Lowery? All I remember Mr Lowery had my dad build him a dog house for his dog on company time. This was when the Twin was brand new. I also remember at the Mid Island plaza there was a radio station under a large “star”. That is going back a long time ago. I also remember when there was a farm there. Any one reading this can go back that far?

I remember the film Grand Prix. I took my 35mm camera placed it on a tripod and got the fastest film at the time (400 asa black and white) took 36 picture’s. about half came out real good. Got an A on my class project.
Yes this theater was the old movie theater across from the fire station. The first movie I seen in my life was the Ten commandments.
Next to the theater was a underground stairway the went under the building to a back parking lot. A few doors down was the “Hicksville trading post”. I new the owner “Sam” kind of an old crabby man.

My dad was the matinace manager at the “Twin theaters” We used to go in for free to any movie as kids. We also looked for money that was dropped on the floor before the janitors cleaned the theaters. The Twin Theaters took the place of the Hicksville theater in old down town Hicksville. That is where I seen the first movie of my life. The ten commandments".
