I am 71 years old, now. I was at the theater the day that bus tour arrived at the Irving Theater during my lunch period. I was in my sophomore year of high
school and attending the old high school at that time. The next year, I attended
high school in the new high school.
Anyway, the bus was supposed to arrive during our lunch period, but didn't. We just couldn't leave, the girls I hung around with and me. We stayed until the bus arrived. Oh, so worth the trouble we got in that day! Believe your grandmother if she is still with you. It was our first ever seeing a TV star in real life. To think it was Connie Stevens, Efrem, Roger Moore and Ed (Kooky).
The State Farm building where my older sister was working had a great view of the theater. I asked my sister if she was one of those at the windows watching, when I looked over at it to see if they were at the windows. The entire corner of the building was full of people, all floors.
They were promoting something, I thought some film that was coming, but not sure on that.
When, we got back to school, no matter what door any of us went in, someone was there to tell us that we were to be at a certain study hall right after school.
They had all our names, as the teachers reported who was missing in every class.
They were prepared for such a thing happening. Staying after for study hall was not the worst for me, as I had chores to do right after school at home. I paid double. When you get this Annie Bell, email me at [email protected], please.
I want to know that you finally have confirmation that your grandmother told you the truth and did not make whatever she told you was true. Such memories of her will grow more precious as the years go by. I am finding out my nieces want any kind of memories I have of my older sister, their mother. I now have a great great niece named after my older sister and she will grow up to be so like her grandmother. Mary
