I saw Star Wars there for the first time. I saw Meatballs, too.

There was a small soup and sandwich shop in the mall next to American Furniture. Does anyone remember the name of it?

My dad was the manager of that American Furniture for a few years. Liberace was a customer of his. I have pics of him with Johnny Carson, too. Anyway, I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark at the Fox the summer after I was in 1st grade. I went to work with my dad on a Saturday and found my friend there doing the same. His mom was the ticket lady at the Fox and we watched the movie 4 times straight for free. I have many fond memories of that day now especially since the new Indy is out.

What surprises me is that my dad trusted me enough to stay safe-no way I let my kids do that now.
