the town where i grew up.

I was only 12 when the big movie people came to town.you would think the president was coming the way the towns folk were acting.for a town with only about 50 or so people,this was a big deal.my biggest memory was meeting james earl jones.he was the voice of darth vader and he was a god to me.lots of friends and relatives got parts as extra in the film,i got paid 20 to sit in a train while they filmed the scene were they brought in the african americans.my best friend can be seen walking down the hill in the distance as joe talks to bridy mae at the train station.as joe walks down the street my greman sheepard named "drifter"runs by.in the scene i am at the end of the street with bacon and someone is holdding him on the other end.I love the movie because it takes me back to a town that is close to my heart.I overlook all the sterotryps and just enjoy the movie.Ok i'll tell you a little more of what happen while the movie crew was in town.antoher buddy of mine went to ask for a job on the movie.the guy said ok take this gun up to the prop man.when he got there the prop man took the gun and shot him;but it was loaded with blanks.but my buddy didn't known that and he never went by there again.the car the felts agents used was so week it wouldn't pull the hills in town.the after the big explosine and they drive down the street and turn the corner it goes up a steep hill and had to be pushed up.also the scene were joe is found shot to death is on the oppiste side of town that he entered.well hope everyone likes what i shared with them,if you would like to hear more just ask.
