My tag name is KrisJay, aka Kris Sneed. DJ Sneed’s son. My mother started work at UA Northstar 8 in 1986 under the management of John Clemmons until 1988 when the GM changed to Mike Graham(they didn’t see eye to eye). She then worked at a couple of UA theatres for some years. She returned to UA Northstar 8 in 1998 under the management of Paula Jackson and Robert Murphy as a simple employee. She stayed until 2006 when the theatre closed its doors. Her final position was that of a projectionist. I remember Robert Murphy and Bill Skinner, the other people mentioned not so much. My mother at the time was working very hard to provide for both of us. She couldn’t afford a babysitter, so management allowed her to bring me to work. I practically grew up in that place. I was the bratty kid that ran up and down the stairs, watching free movies, and sneaking snacks from concession(sshh). I was heartbroken when the theatre closed. That place really was my childhood. I will always miss it.
